Don't Turn on the Lights

City's humming low and sweet

Midnight melting at our feet

Taxi horns in harmony

But we're writing our own symphony

Glitter on the avenue

Streetlights painting you in blue

Clock says it's about that time

But we're nowhere near goodbye

Don't say "last call," don't say "go"

We just found the undertow

Heartbeat sync, stereo

Let the daylight never know

Don't turn on the lights

We're not done tonight

Let the stars stay jealous of the way we shine

Freeze the hands of time

Keep the world outside

If the sun comes up, we'll tell it "not this time"

Oh-oh-oh

We're golden in the afterglow

Oh-oh-oh

Don't turn on the lights

Shoes off running down the street

Laughing at the summer heat

Music leaking from a car

Feels like we outran the dark

Every second stretching wide

Like the night's on our side

Morning's knocking at the door

But we don't live there anymore

Don't say "last call," don't say "leave"

We've got air we've gotta breathe

Pulse so loud it's underneath

Everything we wanna keep

Don't turn on the lights

We're not done tonight

Let the stars stay jealous of the way we shine

Freeze the hands of time

Keep the world outside

If the sun comes up, we'll tell it "not this time"

Oh-oh-oh

We're golden in the afterglow

Oh-oh-oh

Don't turn on the lights

If tomorrow's coming

It can wait in line

We're electric running

Through borrowed time

No clocks, no warnings

No "one more song"

If this is fleeting

Let's make it long

Don't turn on the lights

We're not done tonight

Let the city spin beneath our feet

Hold the morning back

We don't need that

We're exactly where we're meant to be

Don't turn on the lights

We're not done tonight

Let the stars stay jealous of the way we shine

Freeze the hands of time

Keep the world outside

If the sun comes up, we'll tell it "not this time"

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Don't turn on the lights

Oh-oh-oh

We're golden in the afterglow

Oh-oh-oh

Don't turn on the lights
