Waiting in the Dark

Lyrics

[Intro] (Dreamy, melancholic synths swell) (Slow hypnotic synthwave rhythm begins) [Verse 1] Midnight on the boulevard, the neon starts to fade Every shadow on the wall is a picture that we made I tracing out your outline in the cold and quiet air Close my eyes and make believe that you are standing there A thousand miles between us but I only breathe your name Every beat inside my chest is burning with your flame [Chorus] Oh, I’m wrapped up in the dark, but I am looking for your light I would drive across the universe to hold you just tonight Every second without you is a year under the sea I am drowning in the thought of you, come back and rescue me Completely yours, completely lost, a shadow in the night Oh, I’m waiting in the dark for your light [Verse 2] I keep your old leather jacket draped across my chair Sometimes in the silence I can swear your scent is there My friends all say I'm drifting, that I've gone too far away But they don't know the gravity of words we didn't say I'm locked inside this daydream and I never want to leave You’re the only memory my heavy heart believes [Chorus] Oh, I’m wrapped up in the dark, but I am looking for your light I would drive across the universe to hold you just tonight Every second without you is a year under the sea I am drowning in the thought of you, come back and rescue me Completely yours, completely lost, a shadow in the night Oh, I’m waiting in the dark for your light [Bridge] (Tempo locks, bass grows deeper and warmer) Hypnotic waves, they pull me in Where do I end and you begin? I’d lose myself to keep you whole You are the anchor in my soul [Chorus] Oh, I’m wrapped up in the dark, but I am looking for your light I would drive across the universe to hold you just tonight Every second without you is a year under the sea I am drowning in the thought of you, come back and rescue me Completely yours, completely lost, a shadow in the night Oh, I’m waiting in the dark for your light [Outro] Just your light... Waiting in the dark... (Melancholic synths fade into the night)
