[Intro – whispered, late-night tension]
Streetlights humming like they know my name…
I shouldn’t be here.
I’m already here.
[Verse 1 – slow, prowling, restrained heat]
Eyes meet, then slide away
Like we’re pretending we don’t feel it
Hands in pockets, hearts too loud
Every step says don’t, every nerve says need it
No words, just coded glances
A language built on almost-touch
Wrong place, right time
I’m already shaking from the rush
[Pre-Chorus – breath held, conflicted]
I tell myself I’ll keep walking
But my body doesn’t listen
There’s something holy in the danger
Something dirty in permission
[Chorus – longing, yearning, euphoric pull]
After dark, I lose my mind
Every thought turns physical
It feels so wrong, it feels so right
Wanting you is biblical
After dark, no alibis
Just heat I can’t outrun
I crave the proof you leave behind
I want to taste where you’ve been
[Verse 2 – closer now, heavier gravity]
Breath in sync, the air goes thick
Electric just beneath the skin
I don’t need to know your name
I just need to let you in
Shame and thrill in equal parts
My pulse betrays my calm
I ache for something wordless
Something raw, something gone by dawn
[Pre-Chorus – surrender creeping in]
I know the rules, I know the cost
Still leaning into fate
There’s hunger in the silence
That I’m done trying to escape
[Chorus – bigger, more desperate]
After dark, I lose my mind
Every thought turns physical
It feels so wrong, it feels so right
Wanting you is biblical
After dark, no alibis
Just heat I can’t outrun
I crave the proof you leave behind
I want to taste where you’ve been
[Bridge – stripped back, confession]
Maybe it’s the secrecy
Maybe it’s the sin
Or maybe it’s just wanting
To feel someone under my skin
(beat pauses)
I don’t want forever.
I want now.
[Final Chorus – full release, aching satisfaction]
After dark, I lose my mind
Let the moment take control
If this is hunger, let me starve
If this is desire, let it roll
After dark, I know the risk
Still I’m pulling you in
I don’t need promises or plans
I just want to taste where you’ve been
[Outro – quiet, spent, honest]
Morning will judge me.
Tonight doesn’t care.
