Every Hour Counts (Version 2)

Verse

Cash on the counter where the shadows land

Every hour counts before the clock takes hand

Sweat like water on a ceiling too low

Counting every dollar that I never let go

I see the city breathing through my chest

Every number climbing higher, it's not enough yet

Two more hours till the night folds in half

I gotta keep moving or I lose the draft

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is this worth it, tell me is it true

Tell me if we're winners if the floor don't break through

Chorus

Every hour counts when the clock strikes nine

Hands up till the ceiling starts to shine

Counting every dollar that we spent tonight

Every hour counts until the light comes in

Verse 2

Hundred people counting down one by one

Every hand on fire before the night is done

I see a girl laughing, smoke and gold above

Nobody here believes the night will lose its groove

Four more hours till the streetlights turn to grey

Four more deals to make before we walk away

This room is burning faster than I ever knew

So keep your eyes locked on me, don't let it through

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is this worth it, tell me is it true

Tell me if we're winners if the floor don't break through

Chorus

Every hour counts when the clock strikes nine

Hands up till the ceiling starts to shine

Counting every dollar that we spent tonight

Every hour counts until the light comes in

Bridge

We were born for this, we came to steal the night

No one here is sleeping on a quiet street tonight

The city's holding its breath right behind my chest

Every minute we keep the night from falling still

Chorus

Every hour counts when the clock strikes nine

Hands up till the ceiling starts to shine

Counting every dollar that we spent tonight

Every hour counts until the light comes in
