Love Notes In The Dark

Intro

Yeah...

Some loves got flowers, some loves got rings,

Mine live quiet where the night bird sings.

Verse

You pull me out my day when the city go dark,

Got me laid back, curtains open, eyes on your spark.

Everybody think I’m just lost in thought,

They don’t see the little world where you got me caught.

You so far but you feel like breath on my skin,

Every time I clock out, you pull me back in.

Got me talking in a language only you can read,

Little lines, little rhymes, hiding what I really mean.

Pre-chorus

They say, “Why you always up so late?”

I just laugh, say, “I like the view, it’s great.”

But you know the truth when I fade from the room:

I’m running to you in the glow and the gloom.

Chorus

I’m in love with the night when it’s all turned off,

When the big wide nothing start showing you off.

You my far-away, close-up, secret babe,

My silent song, my hidden wave.

I don’t say your name, keep you in my chest,

Let ‘em think it’s just a phase or I just need rest.

But you and me know every line I trace

Is a love note written to your endless face.

Verse

You be switching up your colors just to match my soul,

Tiny diamonds on the velvet, keeping me whole.

I be falling into patterns only I can see,

Like you rearranged the dark just to talk to me.

Friends say, “You dreaming, you too caught up,”

But they don’t feel the way my heartbeat jump.

When you rise, when you slide, when you cut that sky,

You the only distant touch that can get me this high.

Bridge

If they knew what I meant when I say “my light,”

They would call me crazy for loving the night.

So I wrap you in metaphors, hide you in songs,

Let the world sing along while we both play along.

Chorus

I’m in love with the night when it’s all turned off,

When the big wide nothing start showing you off.

You my far-away, close-up, secret babe,

My silent song, my hidden wave.

I don’t say your name, keep you in my chest,

Let ‘em think it’s just a phase or I just need rest.

But you and me know every line I trace

Is a love note written to your endless face.
