Stay Until Sunrise

V6

[Muted electric guitar, distant night-drive ambience, soft breathy vocals] Two AM, your shadow on my wall You say it’s nothing, but you still call One more night, that’s all we need One more lie we can both believe [Verse 1] Your lipstick fading on my sleeve You say you’re going, then you look at me Your keys are waiting by the door Like we’ve been here a thousand times before The streetlights flicker through the blinds Your tangled fingers locked in mine We know exactly how this ends Still we do it all again [Pre-Chorus] We can blame the whiskey in the morning light Say we lost control somewhere in the night But if you’re already halfway gone Why are you still holding on? [Chorus] Stay until sunrise Love me underneath these fading lights We don’t need forever, just tonight Just one more moment before goodbye Let the whole world wake up without us Let the daylight come and try to find us If you’re gonna break my heart Don’t do it till the sunrise [Post-Chorus] Till the sunrise, till the sunrise Baby, don’t leave me in the cold daylight Till the sunrise, till the sunrise We can disappear when the morning arrives [Verse 2] Your bare feet dancing on the floor The neighbours banging on the wall next door You laugh like nothing’s gonna change Then kiss me like you feel the same We take the long way through the town Windows open, volume drowning out Every little truth we never say Every reason we should walk away [Pre-Chorus] We can call it nothing when the sky turns blue Say it meant nothing, I can lie there too But if this is all we’re ever gonna be Give me one more night to pretend you’re mine to keep [Chorus] Stay until sunrise Love me underneath these fading lights We don’t need forever, just tonight Just one more moment before goodbye Let the whole world wake up without us Let the daylight come and try to find us If you’re gonna break my heart Don’t do it till the sunrise [Instrumental Break] [Driving live drums, shimmering electric guitars, warm bass, wordless vocal harmonies] [Bridge] Maybe we’re a beautiful mistake Maybe we’re just good at watching something break I don’t need a promise you can’t keep Just don’t let go of me while I’m still asleep And when the gold comes pouring through the blinds Will you still be here or leave me with the night? I can face the truth when I open my eyes Just give me till the sunrise [Breakdown] [Drums drop out, solo vocal and soft guitar] Stay… You don’t have to love me forever Stay… Just a little longer, just a little better [Final Chorus] [Full drums return, soaring guitars, layered harmonies, emotionally powerful lead vocal] Stay until sunrise Love me underneath these fading lights We don’t need forever, just tonight Just one more moment before goodbye Let the whole world wake up without us Let the daylight come and try to find us If you’re gonna break my heart Don’t do it till the sunrise [Outro] [Instruments gradually fade, distant birds at dawn, intimate whispered vocals] Till the sunrise… Don’t leave me in the daylight Till the sunrise… Stay. [End]
