Beat Won't Let Us Leave lyrics
Intro
Six on the speaker, low key on the floor
Verse 1 – male vocal
Shoes off by the door, glass still in my hand
Your sweater's still warm from the taxi stand
Five a.m. and we don't check our phones
Just that bassline pulling us back home
Pre-Chorus – harmonies
Tell me is it the drink or the beat tonight
Is it your hand or the way you move right
Chorus – full band, claps, log drums
We stay till the night lets go
Beat won't let us leave so slow
Hands up past what's called time
Stay here with this feeling, no goodbyes
Verse 2 – male vocal
Dust on the streetlight, my shirt still smells like you
Your laugh cuts through whatever we got to do
Taxi light swinging low like it's singing our song
Windows down where the speakers have been all night long
Pre-Chorus – harmonies
Tell me is it the drink or the beat tonight
Is it your hand or the way you move right
Chorus – full band, claps, log drums
We stay till the night lets go
Beat won't let us leave so slow
Hands up past what's called time
Stay here with this feeling, no goodbyes
Bridge – soft piano, shaker only
No clock to chase, just your eyes on mine
Just the low end humming out of line
Nobody's leaving yet, nobody's done
We're still dancing where the sky turns blue
Chorus – full band, claps, log drums
We stay till the night lets go
Beat won't let us leave so slow
Hands up past what's called time
Stay here with this feeling, no goodbyes
