Verse
Clock behind the bar stopped counting
Red light drips down off the rig
Floor holds the heat from all the footwork
Bassline splits the room in half
Somebody's shoe left by the speaker
Steam on the ceiling, slow and thick
My palm flat on the cold black railing
Waiting on the drop that doesn't come
Pre-Chorus
We measure time in kicks not minutes
We let the low end set the hour
We stay right here inside the middle
We let it hold, we let it pour
Chorus
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Verse
Someone's jacket hangs on the barstool
Ice melts flat in a paper cup
Lights sweep low across the crowd's shoulders
Same four bars, they don't let up
The hi-hat ticks like a second hand
Nobody's watching the door tonight
We move like the room's one long hallway
Half past nothing, half past right
Pre-Chorus
We measure time in kicks not minutes
We let the low end set the hour
We stay right here inside the middle
We let it hold, we let it pour
Chorus
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Bridge
No clock hand moves the same as this
The kick keeps splitting every breath
Floor's warm beneath the weight we shift
We stay suspended, nothing's left
to reach for, nothing left to chase
just the low end holding up the space
Chorus
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
Half past the bassline, still not through
