Oh whilst under the floodlights
You placed your hand upon my cheek
And simply said, "just hear me out"
Oh let's open the floodgates
Feel the warmth of every tear
That brushes past
Each word I doubt

Catch an eyelash or a star
A wish may conceal the truth
Redefining who you are
In this depiction of youth
I'll refuse, excuse their accusations
For the sake of this one night

Let's take this evening
Make the air worth breathing
Tranquillise me with those eyes
Starlit skies
Let's take this evening
Claim it has some meaning
Charm me with your chivalry
In a cruel fantasy

Oh whilst under the strobe lights
You placed your hands around my waist
But I sensed your eyes looking elsewhere
To gain your attention
I ran outside and raised the tension
You followed me out
But why should you care

Catch a raindrop from afar
Wash away hidden truths
Kiss me under travelling stars
In this depiction of youth
I'll refuse, excuse their accusations
For the sake of this one night

Let's take this evening
Make the air worth breathing
Tranquillise me with those eyes
Starlit skies
Let's take this evening
Claim it has some meaning
Charm me with your chivalry
In a cruel fantasy

Oh whilst under the floodlights
You placed your hand upon my cheek
And I might have said "I love you"
Oh doesn't it make you wonder
Doesn't it make you long for my love
Underneath the floodlights
Oh how it makes me wonder
How it makes me long for you love
