  • Oh there's somethin' bout the skylight tonight
    Something that makes me know everything's goin' be alright
    There's somethin' in the way that the stars align
    There's not a single moment I'ma pass by

    The hour's now
    The base is loud
    The disco lights
    Shinin' through the crowd
    We're holdin' time in our hands and it stops when we say
    We say
    And we ain't stoppin' 'til the morning light

    [Chorus]
    We gotta hold back the sun, don't let it come
    Ain't stoppin' for no one
    The night is young
    Don't let them turn on the lights
    Let us decide when they play that last song
    The night is done
    When we break the dawn

    We break the dawn [Repeat: x4]

    Oh there somethin' on the surface right now
    Somethin' the keeps me movin' diggin' deeper down
    So I just let the speakers speak to me
    Vibrations movin' on the floor all around

    The hour's now (yes)
    The base is loud (yes)
    The disco lights (yes)
    Shinin' through the crowd
    We're holdin' time in our hands and it stops when we say
    And we ain't stopping 'til the morning light

    [Chorus]

    We break the dawn [Repeat: x8]

    The daylight scene never hurt nobody
    And if the DJ decides there ain't no more party
    Cause we're turnin' when we're good and ready
    We step outside
    Til the sunrise
    Wait up and let me

    We ain't goin' nowhere
    Til we good and ready
    Oh
    Break the dawn!

    [Chorus: x2]

    We gotta hold back the sun

    [Repeats]
