Hold It Down 4

Intro

Hold it down

Verse 1 – sparse minimal verse with just kick and hi-hat

Floor still humming under my feet

Last light fading off the street

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through your chest?

Let it rise, let it take us in

Chorus

Hold it down till the morning comes

Feel that fire before it's done

Hands up high where the ceiling bends

We don't stop till the daylight ends

Verse 2 – same sparse verse, different chord change

Strangers turning into a name

Every heartbeat pulling us in the same way

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through your chest?

Let it rise, let it take us in

Chorus

Hold it down till the morning comes

Feel that fire before it's done

Hands up high where the ceiling bends

We don't stop till the daylight ends

Bridge – stripped to just piano and vocal, intimate close-mic

Skin on skin where the speakers used to be

Nobody's leaving until the gold breaks through

Hold the breath we've been holding on to

Chorus

Hold it down till the morning comes

Feel that fire before it's done

Hands up high where the ceiling bends

We don't stop till the daylight ends

Outro

Hold it down

Outro – just piano, long reverb tail of title phrase
