[Verse 1] You came in with rain on your sleeve Clutching a paper cup and a bruise I was three bad hours too deep Leaning on the window like I’d lost my view Your laugh cut through the room Like a match in a crowded hall I said, “stay a little longer” You said, “I might stay through it all” [Pre-Chorus] And the hour kept slipping by As the whole world turned to blur Your hand found mine under the bar Like you knew exactly where to put a hurt [Chorus] Late nights, hold me close Neon bruised the glass Late nights, hold me close Don’t let this moment pass If the whole place falls away I want your name in the dark Late nights, hold me close Leave your light on my heart (on my heart) [Verse 2] We crossed the lot in silence With the engine ticking soft Your reflection on the dashboard Looked like something I’d lost and found You said love can be a gamble And I said I like the risk Then you kissed me like a warning And I answered back with this [Pre-Chorus] Now the hour keeps slipping by But I don’t want the night to end Your fingers trace my pulse line Like you’re learning me again [Chorus] Late nights, hold me close Neon bruised the glass Late nights, hold me close Don’t let this moment pass If the whole place falls away I want your name in the dark Late nights, hold me close Leave your light on my heart (on my heart) [Bridge] If morning comes too fast Let it miss us by a mile I’ve been running from forever You make me stop awhile So breathe on me again Till the edges all come clean I’ll be the one who stays When the blacktop swallows the street [Final Chorus] Late nights, hold me close Neon bruised the glass Late nights, hold me close Don’t let this moment pass If the whole place falls away I want your name in the dark Late nights, hold me close Leave your light on my heart (on my heart) Late nights, hold me close I’m still here where you are (where you are)
