Pulse in the dark 20

Verse

Neon cuts through the haze on your neck

Your breath catches mine like a lock in my chest

Strobe flashes: four beats, then gone

You're closer than close when this kick comes on

Fingers find skin in the crush and the heat

Nobody here but us in this dark where we meet

Pre-Chorus

Hold your shoulder tight through the noise of the floor

I won't let go till I know you want more

Hear that pulse? It's not just the sound

It's two hearts on fire, losing ground

Chorus

Pulse in the dark, only one way to keep time

We don't need a name when we're stuck like this, mine and yours, line by line

Skin is language nobody else will speak

In your eyes I find what we already seek

Pulse in the dark where shadows forget their name

Every other body turns to black, you stay in frame

Verse 2

Sweat off your collarbone like a prayer

The kick drum is breathing and so are we now, again and again, here

Metallic hats cut through static air

Your shoulder dips into mine without a care

No one's watching; just the dark and this sound

You don't know my name, but you're pulling me down

Pre-Chorus

Hold your shoulder tight through the noise of the floor

I won't let go till I know you want more

Hear that pulse? It's not just the sound

It's two hearts on fire, losing ground

Chorus

Pulse in the dark, only one way to keep time

We don't need a name when we're stuck like this, mine and yours, line by line

Skin is language nobody else will speak

In your eyes I find what we already seek

Pulse in the dark where shadows forget their name

Every other body turns to black, you stay in frame

Bridge

No names, no names. Just two hands on one chest. Nothing more.

Nothing less.

Just the kick drum and then...then this

This is our only language left. This is all we get from tonight's crowd. Just this.

Hold me still through four counts of nothing.

I'm not letting go now that I've found you in here.

In every dark there's a light. You're mine.

Chorus

Pulse in the dark, only one way to keep time

We don't need a name when we're stuck like this, mine and yours, line by line

Skin is language nobody else will speak

In your eyes I find what we already seek

Pulse in the dark where shadows forget their name

Every other body turns to black, you stay in frame
