Lyrics
[verse]
Daylight has a way of keeping everybody quiet,
Hiding what they're feeling underneath a careful diet.
But when the sun goes down, the walls come down too,
And every truth we buried finds a way back to you.
[chorus]
Because the dark belongs to us tonight,
Because the dark can hold us close and hold us right,
Nobody's watching, nobody's keeping score,
Because the dark is finally ours once more.
[verse]
I've spent all day pretending I don't need you close to me,
Playing at composure like a well-rehearsed decree.
But once the streetlights flicker on and shadows start to grow,
I stop pretending, and I let the feeling show.
[chorus]
Because the dark belongs to us tonight,
Because the dark can hold us close and hold us right,
Nobody's watching, nobody's keeping score,
Because the dark is finally ours once more.
[bridge]
Take my hand and lead me where the quiet turns to sound,
Let the whole world spin without us for a while.
We don't need the daylight's rules to tell us who we are,
Tonight belongs to no one but the two of us this far.
[chorus]
Because the dark belongs to us tonight,
Because the dark can hold us close and hold us right,
Nobody's watching, nobody's keeping score,
Because the dark is finally ours once more.
