Intro
Blue line creeps across the wall
Breath still warm beneath the sheet
Verse
Blinds cut stripes across your chest
Clock hands slow to catch their breath
Fingers trace the fading dark
Skin keeps score of what's left
Pre-Chorus
We stall the hour, we hold the seam
Between the dream and daylight's stream
We keep it thin, we keep it low
The window waits, we tell it no
Chorus
You hold the night closer than morning
You hold the night closer than morning
Hands stay still, the sky keeps turning
You hold the night closer than morning
Verse
Steam still rings the coffee cup
Curtains breathe the room awake
Your palm stays flat against my spine
Neither one of us will break
Pre-Chorus
We stall the hour, we hold the seam
Between the dream and daylight's stream
We keep it thin, we keep it low
The window waits, we tell it no
Chorus
You hold the night closer than morning
You hold the night closer than morning
Hands stay still, the sky keeps turning
You hold the night closer than morning
Bridge
Gold creeps in along the floor
Your heartbeat slows to match the door
Not yet, not yet, the light can wait
We're holding time a little late
Chorus
You hold the night closer than morning
You hold the night closer than morning
Hands stay still, the sky keeps turning
You hold the night closer than morning
Outro
Blue turns gold across your chest
Still here, still yours, still pressed
