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] We break the dawn
