Longer Than the Day

Intro

Mm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

We met on a night the sirens sang in three-part harmony

Your hand on the wall traced a city I'd never seen

You said the world's a borrowed dress we only wear for a season

I laughed at the ceiling and knew I'd caught a fever

Pre-Chorus

Keep me

Keep me in the spaces between

Where the clock gets soft and the colors lean

Chorus

I'll hold your light a little longer than the day

Even when the signals fade to grey

I'll hold your light a little longer

Longer than the morning dares to stay

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Da-da-da da-da-day

Verse 2

You built a shrine from tangled wires and secondhand gold

Every circuit a promise that never grew cold

We danced through a winter that refused to release us

Now I trace your outline in every crowded chorus

Pre-Chorus

Keep me

Keep me in the spaces between

Where the static hums and the weather's clean

Chorus

I'll hold your light a little longer than the day

Even when the signals fade to grey

I'll hold your light a little longer

Longer than the morning dares to stay

Bridge

Sweet ache

Bitter bloom

We're two notes

In one tune

Sweet ache

Bitter bloom

Stay here

Too soon

Chorus

I'll hold your light a little longer than the day

Even when the signals fade to grey

I'll hold your light a little longer

Longer than the morning dares to stay

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Da-da-da da-da-day

Longer

Longer
