Hold This Frame (Version 2)

Verse 1

Gold light bleeding through the blinds

City hums beneath my skin

Sixteen years of borrowed time

Every hour's a borrowed coin

I watch the ceiling lose its shape

Windows turn to silver glass

The rent collector doesn't care what I do here

Just that the bills get paid on time at last

Pre-Chorus

Tell me something worth breaking for

Something worth holding on to

Chorus

So hold this frame, hold it right

Let the whole sky burn through tonight

Gold light bleeding through the blinds

We're still dancing past the deadline time

Verse 2

Your shoulder blade against my arm

Static buzzing in your hair

Streetlights blur into a strobe of one long heartbeat

Nobody's counting how we share

The city clock runs backwards here

Numbers fold like paper planes

Every debt I ever knew is burning at the edge of town

This is where I learn to let it go

Learn to let it all be worth it, somehow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me something worth breaking for

Something worth holding on to

Chorus

So hold this frame, hold it right

Let the whole sky burn through tonight

Gold light bleeding through the blinds

We're still dancing past the deadline time

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow we don't get paid

Maybe every window turns back grey

But right now I'm not running from a thing

Right now I'm just holding on to you like it's already mine

Chorus

So hold this frame, hold it right

Let the whole sky burn through tonight

Gold light bleeding through the blinds

We're still dancing past the deadline time
