[Verse 1]

Midnight static on my skin

You’re the quiet I keep letting in

Don’t ask me if this is right

I already chose you tonight

Lips like a secret I shouldn’t know

But I’m already too far gone to go

You look at me like you already sank

And I’m the one who pulled you under

[Pre]

Don’t turn the lights on

Don’t make it real

Just stay where the shadows

Know how we feel

[Chorus]

Stay in the dark with me

Where no one else can see

I’ll ruin you slowly

If you ruin me

Your hands on my body

Feel like a warning

But I keep coming back

Every morning

Stay in the dark

Don’t say a word

Just breathe if you want me

I already heard

[Verse 2]

You wear my name under your clothes

Like a bruise only we know

I shouldn’t want you this wrong

But the wanting’s been here too long

You move like you’re already mine

Even when you try to draw the line

I taste the hesitation on your tongue

And still I pull you deeper

[Pre]

Don’t turn the lights on

Let the night decide

If this is a sin

Then keep me inside

[Chorus]

Stay in the dark with me

Where no one else can see

I’ll ruin you slowly

If you ruin me

Your hands on my body

Feel like a warning

But I keep coming back

Every morning

Stay in the dark

Don’t say a word

Just breathe if you want me

I already heard

[Bridge]

I don’t need forever

I just need right now

The way you fall apart

When I show you how

If the morning comes

And you try to leave

I’ll still be the dark

You can’t outbreathe

[Chorus]

Stay in the dark with me

Where no one else can see

I’ll ruin you slowly

If you ruin me

Your hands on my body

Feel like a claiming

And I keep on answering

Every time you say my name

Stay in the dark

Don’t say a word

Just stay if you want me

I already heard
