Lyrics
The words.
**[Intro – whispered]**
Don't leave me standing in the doorway...
I don't want to be brave tonight.
**[Verse 1 – rap]**
Midnight leaking through the curtains, skin awake, my pulse is certain
Got that fever in my rib cage, every breath you script the version
Every shadow knows your name now, they all watch you claim my sins
Every silence pulls me closer, like your hands beneath my skin
I've been walking with the daylight, acting like I'm hard to move
I've been sleeping with a storm cloud, you undress it from the roof
Come unravel all this armor, drop it dripping to the floor
I want lace and teeth and shivers, I don't want to fake it anymore
**[Pre-Chorus – rap/sung]**
There's a wildfire in my chest, it keeps spelling out your name
Got a creature at my rib cage, scratching bars and bending frames
I chose these chains because I trust you, tie them tighter round my waist
If you hesitate and lose me, I might burn and leave no trace
**[Chorus]**
Come into the dark with me
Where the whole world disappears
Take the weight right off my shoulders
Leave the years outside the door
I don't want another kingdom
I don't want another fight
I just want your voice to find me
In the middle of the night
Hold me steady
Hold me near
Let the beast forget its name
While you're here
**[Verse 2 – rap]**
Every room becomes electric, when you walk in, lights obey
All the air turns into warning, all my rules fall into prey
When your eyes are finding mine, it’s like a siren in my veins
Like the air remembers secrets
That I tried to drown in chains
You don't beg me for surrender, just keep breathing in my ear
Let my heartbeat do the talking, say the words I want to hear
That's the dangerous kind of power, when you never have to seize
You just press your heat against me, and my knees fall to their knees
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Every nerve is singing louder
Every wall begins to sway
If I cross this line beside you
I don't want to look away
**[Chorus]**
Come into the dark with me
Where the whole world disappears
Leave the thunder at the doorway
Let me hear what silence hears
Every heartbeat pulling closer
Every breath becoming light
I don't need to save tomorrow
I just need you here tonight
**[Bridge]**
Don't rescue me
Don't worship me
Just stay
Long enough
For all the frightened parts of me
To believe
They don't have to earn this anymore
**[Final Chorus]**
Come into the dark with me
Stay until the morning burns
Let the stars keep all their distance
Tonight it's only our turn
If the world comes back tomorrow
I'll wear the crown again
But for one beautiful moment
Let me simply
Be your girl
**[Outro – whispered]**
Good girl...
...that's all I ever wanted to hear.
Don't leave me standing in the doorway...
I don't want to be brave tonight.
**[Verse 1 – rap]**
