Lasting Sunlight

(ooh-ooh) Balcony railing still warm from the sun

Down on the pavement the traffic runs low

We watch the dusk turn the avenues gray

Nothing to chase and nowhere to go

Your shoulder against mine,

steady and sweet

The summer air lingers in every breath Golden hour slipping away into

deep blue

I want to hold this minute right here Before the morning breaks

through

Stay with me under the slow summer sky

Let the clocks unspool,

let the hours unwind

In a million quiet windows turning golden and bright

You and I,

catching the warmth in the night

(ooh,

stay right here)

Bottles of soda sweating on glass

Footsteps fade out on the brick below

Two strangers finding an open frontier

Where all of the heavy things finally go

You

trace a line

in the warm evening air

The summer air lingers in every breath Golden hour slipping away into

deep blue

I want to hold this minute right here Before the morning breaks

through

If tomorrow comes and

pulls us apart

Remember this rooftop, remember this start

No rush, no fear,

just the two of us here

Stay with me under

the slow summer sky

Let the clocks unspool,

let the hours unwind

In a million quiet windows turning golden and bright You and I,

catching the warmth in the night (stay with

me, don't let go)

Catching the warmth in the night (ooh-yeah)

Catching the warmth...

(just you

and I)
