Verse 1
Yard lights swinging on a wire above
Bare feet finding where the beat wants to move
Shoes kicked off by the speaker stack
Floor still warm from the ones that came back
You lean in close, no need to speak
Hips already answer what your fingers seek
Pre-Chorus
Clock is climbing past one, past two
Nobody's counting, only me and you
Sweat cooling slow on the back of my neck
Every pulse of the bass, another step
Chorus
Follow the drum till the morning light
Bodies don't need a reason, don't need a fight
Nothing to prove, nothing to hide
Follow the drum till the morning light
Verse 2
Streetlamp flickers, throwing gold on the wall
Crowd getting thin but we don't stall
Your palm on my chest keeps the tempo true
Concrete turning cold under our shoes
Three more hours and the sky stays black
Still holding steady, still holding that track
Pre-Chorus
Clock is climbing past four, past five
Nobody's leaving while the drum's alive
Sweat cooling slow on the back of my neck
Every pulse of the bass, another step
Chorus
Follow the drum till the morning light
Bodies don't need a reason, don't need a fight
Nothing to prove, nothing to hide
Follow the drum till the morning light
Bridge
Grey creeps into the edge of the yard
Speaker's tired but we ain't done, not hard
Dew on the ground where our shadows lay
Turns out the rhythm was leading to day
Chorus
Follow the drum till the morning light
Bodies don't need a reason, don't need a fight
Nothing to prove, nothing to hide
Follow the drum till the morning light
