"Hold the Dawn

[Verse 1]
Streetlights flicker as the night wears thin,
Walking slow where the silence begins.
Your coat pulled tight against the winter air,
Words we don't say hanging everywhere.
[Pre-Chorus]
If the morning comes too soon again,
I'd steal the hours just to stay the same.
[Chorus]
Hold the dawn a little longer now,
Keep the dark from pulling us down.
In this quiet, we still know how,
To hold the dawn... before it's gone.
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo on the empty road,
Carrying the weight of stories untold.
Your breath in clouds, a fleeting sign,
That time still bends when your hand meets mine.
[Pre-Chorus]
If the light could wait outside the door,
I'd lock it out and ask for more.
[Chorus]
Hold the dawn a little longer now,
Keep the dark from pulling us down.
In this quiet, we still know how,
To hold the dawn... before it's gone.
[Bridge]
Oh, the world can turn without regret,
But here we're standing, not ready yet.
One more minute, one more breath,
Before the day steals what is left.

Hold the dawn a little longer now,
Keep the dark from pulling us down.
In this quiet, we still know how,
To hold the dawn... hold the dawn.
[Outro]
Hold... the dawn.
