[Instrumental Intro. Low sub-bass pulse, distant toms. Slow, echoing guitar swells
Tension building, breath held]
Aaaahh
[Verse 1]
I was down, nowhere bound
Running circles in a dead-end town
Needed love, any flame
Just a spark, even pain
Something new, soft but real
Shy like truth you almost feel
Turned my head, split my view
Everything I knew… was you
Mm-mm...
[FULL STOP – SILENCE (all instruments drop — breath, no reverb)]
[PRE-CHORUS — BANG IN. Drums and bass slam in together]
Oh,
Then out of the dark you came
Moving slow like a whispered name
[Chorus]
Suddenly someone
A midnight romancer
A sinner in rhythm and blue
I don’t believe in forever
I don’t believe in the answers
But I believe in you
Only with you
Yeah, only with you
[Verse 2]
Ah,
No more rain on my skin
No more chains pulling me in
No more cold, sleepless fights
With the ceiling and the night
Laughing eyes, burning wide
Wider than midsummer skies
I’m unsteady, I’m untrue
But I stand upright with you
Mm-mm...
[FULL STOP – SILENCE (all instruments drop — breath, no reverb)]
[Pre-Chorus -BANG IN]
You don’t save me, you don’t try
You just look at me like I survive
[Chorus]
Suddenly someone
A midnight romancer
A shadow that finally knew
I don’t need heaven above me
I don’t need proof or excuses
I just need you
Only with you
Only with you
[Instrumental Break - Epic low drum and bass drop. Half-time pulse, distorted bass breathing. Single-note guitar crying, bending slow]
[Bridge – Spoken / Gritty]
Once a lone star rider
Dancing ice-cold, bulletproof
Now I move like fire
Yeah, I move like truth
(half-spoken)
Call me a fool… call me undone
I was empty till you came along
I don’t change for the world…
I change for you
[Final Chorus]
Suddenly someone
A midnight romancer
A Romeo dressed in blue
I laid my weapons down
I laid my restless crown
Just to stand with you
Only with you
Yeah, only with you
[Outro - Drums strip away. Bass fades into a slow heartbeat. Guitars dissolve into air]
Only with you…
Oh-oh-oh...
Only with you...
With you...
