Holding on to every little light

Verse

I was a map drawn by my own two hands

Always the edge of town where nobody stands

You walked up quiet with a pocket full of stars

Told me every little light could be ours

Your shoes were scuffed from the city streets

Pre-Chorus

So what's it gonna take to make you stay?

Is it the way the sunset turns the sky to grey?

Every second I'm running out of time

I don't wanna lose this moment, not tonight

Chorus

Holding on to every little light

We chase the edges till they turn to gold tonight

We're making our own map with a thousand tiny beacons

Holding on to every little light, we'll find our way home

You draw the line right where I'm standing still

Every streetlamp flickers like it's trying to tell us something real

I don't care if we can never reach the end of town

Cause every step we take is one more little sound

Verse

We took your jacket, wore it out into rain

You drew me a picture with a heart that broke the frame

Said the city's full of secret doors and secret names

Every name that doesn't belong to you can be my claim to fame

I don't wanna lose the way you laugh when you talk about the night

Pre-Chorus

So what's it gonna take to make you stay?

Is it the way the sunset turns the sky to grey?

Every second I'm running out of time

I don't wanna lose this moment, not tonight

Chorus

Holding on to every little light

We chase the edges till they turn to gold tonight

We're making our own map with a thousand tiny beacons

Holding on to every little light, we'll find our way home

You draw the line right where I'm standing still

Every streetlamp flickers like it's trying to tell us something real

I don't care if we can never reach the end of town

Cause every step we take is one more little sound

Bridge

We are the ghost that haunts this empty road

A million tiny beacons, a map to hold and know

You're not just a line on my own two hands

This is how I see us when the whole sky turns red and white

Chorus

Holding on to every little light

We chase the edges till they turn to gold tonight

We're making our own map with a thousand tiny beacons

Holding on to every little light, we'll find our way home

You draw the line right where I'm standing still

Every streetlamp flickers like it's trying to tell us something real

I don't care if we can never reach the end of town

Cause every step we take is one more little sound
