Where Shadows Move Fast (Version 2)

Verse

Shoes gone dusty from the tile floor night

Sweat on my collarbone where a stranger's hand found it right

Bottle of water half full and three hours gone by

Streetlight flickers over your shoulder, still low in the sky

Log drum talks soft behind the wall

Your laughter cuts through like a log drum call

Four AM when the taxi line wraps around the block

But I don't want to leave this right here, not yet, not now

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long till the sun comes up

Is it twenty minutes or is it an hour or more?

Where are we going and can I take you with me

Chorus

We move like shadows in the yellow light

Fastest four hours of my life tonight

We move like shadows in the yellow light

Can't stop now, not even if the dawn breaks right

Verse

Your shoulder brushes mine by the doorframe and I stay close

Bassline fading but you hum the last two notes like a low-end boast

Pockets full of nothing, just your hand in my palm

Taxi honk outside, I tell it to wait for us till we're calm

Neon fades behind the buildings into a soft green glow

You take one more step forward and I don't know how long ago this was just a show

Your eyes shine gold like streetlights through a dirty lens

Hold my hand here right where this whole night starts again

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long till the sun comes up

Is it twenty minutes or is it an hour or more?

Where are we going and can I take you with me

Chorus

We move like shadows in the yellow light

Fastest four hours of my life tonight

We move like shadows in the yellow light

Can't stop now, not even if the dawn breaks right

Bridge

This isn't the end of anything yet

Just a doorway where the city starts to wet

Sneakers against brick and your hand still holding mine

Four AM and we're exactly on time

Chorus

We move like shadows in the yellow light

Fastest four hours of my life tonight

We move like shadows in the yellow light

Can't stop now, not even if the dawn breaks right
