Closer Than Morning (Version 2)

Intro

Blue line creeps across the wall

Breath still warm beneath the sheet

Verse

Blinds cut stripes across your chest

Clock hands slow to catch their breath

Fingers trace the fading dark

Skin keeps score of what's left

Pre-Chorus

We stall the hour, we hold the seam

Between the dream and daylight's stream

We keep it thin, we keep it low

The window waits, we tell it no

Chorus

You hold the night closer than morning

You hold the night closer than morning

Hands stay still, the sky keeps turning

You hold the night closer than morning

Verse

Steam still rings the coffee cup

Curtains breathe the room awake

Your palm stays flat against my spine

Neither one of us will break

Pre-Chorus

We stall the hour, we hold the seam

Between the dream and daylight's stream

We keep it thin, we keep it low

The window waits, we tell it no

Chorus

You hold the night closer than morning

You hold the night closer than morning

Hands stay still, the sky keeps turning

You hold the night closer than morning

Bridge

Gold creeps in along the floor

Your heartbeat slows to match the door

Not yet, not yet, the light can wait

We're holding time a little late

Chorus

You hold the night closer than morning

You hold the night closer than morning

Hands stay still, the sky keeps turning

You hold the night closer than morning

Outro

Blue turns gold across your chest

Still here, still yours, still pressed
