One More Hour

Hey now, here we are again
Two escapees still trapped
The hotel holding our hearts laying bare
The brightest flame

This love will only last us one more hour
Then we’ll be moving on
The fear that we could break it and never make it
To have it makes it gone

I am who I am when I’m with you
So tender the touch and release

This love will only last us one more hour
Then we’ll be moving on
The fear that we could break it and never make it
To have it makes it gone
You’ll hold my hand and let me be the one to
Sweep you through this dream
Then letting go, no good-bye, the door we stood by
Faded into black

Changing the phase and melting the mold
Guarding our days and still we grow old
Piercing the truth of all that we lack
We turn to our youth as we run to get back
This freedom
We hear this calling
I hold onto you
And we just keep falling

This love will only last us one more hour
Then we’ll be moving on
The fear that we could break it and never make it
To have it makes it gone
You’ll hold my hand and let me be the one to
Sweep you through this dream
Then letting go, no good-bye, the door we stood by
Faded into black
