Lyrics
[Intro] (ah) [Verse 1] Your wrist still carries last year's faded stamp Blue beneath the gold dust and the heat I watch the light break across your neck And pretend I don't know what it does to me I left my better judgment in the second float Between the drums and the diesel breath You pull me closer like the night still owes us Something it already spent [Pre-Chorus] We keep moving like the floor won't open Like the air is turning into wire Every color tastes a little darker Every heartbeat feeds the fire [Chorus] Hold me while the color's still bright Before the night consumes what it started I can feel corrosion under the skin Quiet, patient, already too far in Don't ask me to name it Just stay here until it wins [Verse 2] There's someone selling water at the corner From a cooler bleached by years of sun They watch us like they watch a burning building Knowing neither of us will run I taste copper at the edge of your mouth Your laughter lands a second late Beneath the rhythm, something thin is humming Like a warning trapped inside the bass [Pre-Chorus] We keep moving like the floor won't open Like the air is turning into wire Every color tastes a little darker Every heartbeat feeds the fire [Chorus] Hold me while the color's still bright Before the night consumes what it started I can feel corrosion under the skin Quiet, patient, already too far in Don't ask me to name it Just stay here until it wins [Bridge] I used to think we could outrun it If we kept the music loud enough Now I know the music is part of it The sweetest hymn of corrosion Still I want your hand against my back Still I want this beautiful damage Let the whole bright city come undone Let it take us dancing as it happens [Final Chorus] Hold me while the color's still bright Before the night consumes what it started I can feel corrosion under the skin Quiet, patient, already too far in Don't ask me to name it Just stay here until it wins [Outro] (just stay) (until it wins)
