The Dark Before the Rise 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Lights cut down to amber glow

Four a.m. in the empty row

Your shoulder's pressed against mine

Bass still humming where we left behind

No clocks here in the darkened space

Just the hum of your quiet breath and face

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight, don't let it go

Feel the beat start to rise from low

This is ours till morning light

Let this moment turn into white

Chorus

We're running through the dark before the rise

Every step takes us higher in the noise

You and me against the fading glow

In your eyes, the only thing we know

Verse 2

Your hand finds mine across the beat

Cold coffee sweating down our sleeves

Neon bleeding into morning heat

Every chord that's dying still reaches me

The speakers cough a final sigh

Your voice is low in my ear tonight

No goodbyes yet, no need to go

Just this pulse and you below

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight, don't let it go

Feel the beat start to rise from low

This is ours till morning light

Let this moment turn into white

Chorus

We're running through the dark before the rise

Every step takes us higher in the noise

You and me against the fading glow

In your eyes, the only thing we know

Bridge

No sun yet on our shoulders cold

Just this bassline folding slow

Not goodbye but let it go

Into daylight waiting to own
