Dark Light

Absolutely — I’ll make “Dark Light” feel like one cohesive late-night R&B record, with the hook repeating throughout, a bigger melodic chorus, and a darker second verse.

DARK LIGHT

INTRO
(Ooh… yeah)
2 AM…
Lights low…
You know what time it is…
Come closer…

VERSE 1
Red lights shining through the window,
Your silhouette moving real slow.
Phone face down, don't need distractions,
Tonight I only want your attention.

You got that look in your eyes again,
Like you know exactly where this ends.
I keep saying I should let you go,
Then you pull me close and I lose control.

Your perfume still on my shirt,
Your name still running through my thoughts.
Every time I try to put you first,
I remember everything that we lost.

PRE-CHORUS
When the city goes quiet,
And the moon gets higher,
You become my weakness,
You become my desire.

CHORUS
Dark light, dark light,
Baby, you my dark light.
All night, all night,
I just wanna feel you all night.

Dark light, dark light,
When you leave, it don't feel right.
All night, all night,
You and me underneath the moonlight.

Dark light—ooh, ooh.
Dark light—yeah, yeah.
When the whole world fades away,
Baby, you still got me right here.

Dark light, dark light…
I can't stay away.
Dark light, dark light…
Come and take me away.

POST-CHORUS
Take me away…
Take me away…
(Ooh)
Don't let the morning come.
Take me away…
Take me away…
Baby, you're the only one.

VERSE 2 — DARKER
Black room, curtains closed,
I don't wanna see nobody.
Your shadow dancing on the wall,
Got me thinking about your body.

I know we're playing with fire,
But somehow I like the danger.
You know every secret I hide,
Still look at me like I'm your favorite.

I got demons in my head tonight,
You got secrets underneath your smile.
We could tell each other everything,
Or we could lie to each other for a while.

You say, “Don't fall too deep,”
But you're the reason that I'm sinking.
Every time you say goodbye,
I spend the whole damn night thinking.

Maybe we're toxic together,
Maybe we're perfect in the dark.
Maybe I don't need forever,
I just need you where you are.

PRE-CHORUS 2
When the city goes quiet,
And the moon gets higher,
You become my weakness,
You become my desire.

I know we're complicated,
But I don't wanna fight it.
If loving you is dangerous,
Then baby, keep the lights dim.

BIG CHORUS
Dark light, dark light,
Baby, you my dark light.
All night, all night,
I just wanna feel you all night.

Dark light, dark light,
When you leave, it don't feel right.
All night, all night,
You and me underneath the moonlight.

Dark light—ooh, ooh.
Dark light—yeah, yeah.
When the whole world fades away,
Baby, you still got me right here.

Dark light, dark light…
I can't stay away.
Dark light, dark light…
Come and take me away.

BRIDGE — VOCAL RUNS
Ooooh…
Don't turn the lights on…
Don't let the night end…
Stay right here beside me…
I don't wanna pretend.

If tomorrow changes everything,
Tonight can still belong to us.
Put your hands in mine,
Baby, don't you let me go.

CALL & RESPONSE
Dark light!
(My dark light!)
All night!
(All night!)
Don't leave!
(Don't leave!)
Stay right here!
(Right here!)

Dark light!
(My dark light!)
All night!
(All night!)
When the whole world disappears—
I still see you right here.

FINAL CHORUS
Dark light, dark light,
Baby, you my dark light.
All night, all night,
I just wanna feel you all night.

Dark light, dark light,
When you leave, it don't feel right.
All night, all night,
You and me underneath the moonlight.

Dark light—ooh, ooh.
Dark light—yeah, yeah.
When the whole world fades away,
Baby, you still got me right here.

Dark light, dark light…
I can't stay away.
Dark light, dark light…
Come and take me away.

OUTRO
Dark light…
(Ooh, yeah)
All night…
(Don't go)
Dark light…
You know I can't stay away…

Dark light…
When everything goes black…
You're the only thing I see.
