Oh whilst under the floodlights,
You placed your hand upon my cheek,
And simply said, "just hear me out",
Oh let's open the floodgates,
Feel the warmth of every tear,
That brushes past,
Each word I doubt
Catch an eyelash or a star,
A wish may conceal the truth,
Redefining who you are,
In this depiction of youth,
I'll refuse, excuse their accusations
For the sake of this one night
Let's take this evening,
Make this air worth breathing,
Tranquillise me with those eyes,
Starlit skies
Let's take this evening,
Claim it has some meaning,
Charm me with your chivalry,
In a cruel fantasy
Oh whilst under the strobe lights,
You placed your hands around my waist,
But I sensed your eyes looking elsewhere
To gain your attention,
I ran outside and raised the tension,
You followed me out,
But why should you care
Catch a raindrop from afar,
Wash away hidden truths,
Kiss me under travelling stars,
In this depiction of youth,
I'll refuse, excuse their accusations
For the sake of this one night
Let's take this evening,
Make this air worth breathing,
Tranquillise me with those eyes,
Starlit skies
Let's take this evening,
Claim it has some meaning,
Charm me with your chivalry,
In a cruel fantasy
Oh whilst under the floodlights,
You placed your hand upon my cheek,
And I might have said "I love you"
Oh doesn't it make you wonder,
Doesn't it make you long for my love,
Underneath the floodlights
Oh how it makes me wonder,
How it makes me long for you love
