[Verse 1]
We met like a scar I knew
Your hands felt old in mine
Abby in a velvet dress
Dante with the red-bruise smile
One night in this whole hard life
Then dawn stole the room away
But I knew you from another fire
Like you never left that day
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I sleep and you come back
Through the door of my dreams
Skin to skin, a stolen map
Of the love we couldn't keep
I wake up with your name
Still burning on my tongue
[Chorus]
Abby and Dante
One night, one life
Abby and Dante
We were born too late
Abby and Dante
Meet me in the dark
Abby and Dante
Till the next life starts
(till the next life starts)
[Verse 2]
In the dream, you pull me close
Like the world won't wake us up
We laugh at the cruel little clock
And drink from a broken cup
Your mouth says, "don't let me go"
Mine says, "I won't forget"
We move like we already know
What the living can't get yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I sleep and you come back
Through the door of my dreams
Skin to skin, a stolen map
Of the love we couldn't keep
I wake up with your name
Still burning on my tongue
[Chorus]
Abby and Dante
One night, one life
Abby and Dante
We were born too late
Abby and Dante
Meet me in the dark
Abby and Dante
Till the next life starts
(till the next life starts)
[Bridge]
If the heavens keep receipts
Then they owe us more than this
A half-born kiss, a borrowed bed
And a memory they missed
So take my hand through the veil
Let the stars remember us
If this world won't let us stay
Then dream me back in dust
[Final Chorus]
Abby and Dante
One night, one life
Abby and Dante
We were born too late
Abby and Dante
Meet me in the dark
Abby and Dante
Till the next life starts
(till the next life starts)
Abby and Dante
Don't let this end
Abby and Dante
Find me again
(take me again)
