Let the lanterns burn down low,
Just the shadows and the afterglow.
I want to trace the map across your skin,
Right here where the quiet pulls us in.
The Ferris wheel is standing in the dark,
We’re the only breathing souls left in the park.
You’re wearing my old jacket from the car,
And looking like a solitary star.
There is a tremor in the way you hold my gaze,
Like a match striking fire in the haze.
I can hear your heartbeat beating like a drum,
Telling me the best is yet to come.
Come closer in the fairground after closing,
Where the summer night is still and unposing.
I want to taste the wildness on your breath,
And hold you like there’s nothing but this left.
Nothing but this left
Spin me in your gravity tonight.
There’s a little bit of magic in the rust,
And the carousel is sleeping in the dust.
But you’re the ride I never want to leave,
The kind of restless dream that I believe.
There is a tremor in the way you hold my gaze,
Like a match striking fire in the haze.
I can hear your heartbeat beating like a drum,
Telling me the best is yet to come.
Come closer in the fairground after closing,
Where the summer night is still and unposing.
I want to taste the wildness on your breath,
And hold you like there’s nothing but this left.
Nothing but this left
Spin me in your gravity tonight.
The ticket booths are empty in the glow,
There’s nowhere else that I would rather go.
You’re safe with Sayed until the morning light,
So let me hold you through this endless night.
I can feel the temperature rising, just you and me.
Don't say a word, let the silence speak.
