Slow Down Before the Dawn lyrics
Verse
Curtains closing like a silver haze
Bass still humming where the last of you stays
Coffee cups stacked on the counter cold
You said it's just a story we're told
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the floor give back its sound?
The city sleeping, and I'm left around
Every breath inside this room is yours now
One more minute, don't let it go down
Chorus
Slow down before the dawn
Hold my hand like we just found our way
Slow down before the morning light
We can chase it all another night
Verse
Your eyes keep burning in the dark of blue
I'm counting every beat that I never knew
We were strangers hiding from what's true
Now your name is written across my heart, too
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the floor give back its sound?
The city sleeping, and I'm left around
Every breath inside this room is yours now
One more minute, don't let it go down
Chorus
Slow down before the dawn
Hold my hand like we just found our way
Slow down before the morning light
We can chase it all another night
Bridge
Maybe it's not about where we've been
Maybe this is how our story starts instead
One more hour, one more breath in
This might be something we don't forget
Chorus
Slow down before the dawn
Hold my hand like we just found our way
Slow down before the morning light
We can chase it all another night
