Burning Slow 'Til Dawn (Version 2)

Verse

Last cup down, the room turns thin

Floor keeps shifting underneath my skin

Speakers rattle low like a heartbeat in stone

Strangers lean close until we're not alone

Bassline climbing where the ceiling meets the floor

Nobody's checking what time it is anymore

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb, slow and low?

Something burning, I don't know what to call

Chorus

We're burning slow till dawn comes round

Hands up, feet down on a sound that won't stop

Light creeps soft across the parking lot floor

Burning slow 'til we can't move anymore

Verse 2

Someone's coat draped over the railing like a flag of surrender

Ice cubes melting in an empty plastic bag

Chairs stacked high against the wall, still no one's leaving yet

The lights cut green then gold across the roofline wet

I don't need another drink to feel it rise

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb, slow and low?

Something burning, I don't know what to call

Chorus

We're burning slow till dawn comes round

Hands up, feet down on a sound that won't stop

Light creeps soft across the parking lot floor

Burning slow 'til we can't move anymore

Bridge

Not a light switch, not a clock turning late

This is just the dark deciding when to fade

Every step feels heavier than it used to be

I don't want this feeling to set me free

But I do anyway because that's who I am now

Chorus

We're burning slow till dawn comes round

Hands up, feet down on a sound that won't stop

Light creeps soft across the parking lot floor

Burning slow 'til we can't move anymore
