Midnight static on the radio You said love was just a chemical But baby, when you pulled me close You made the world feel spiritual Flicker of your cigarette, Eyes like velvet afterglow We never said forever yet But I still can’t let you go You haunt me in the silence Like a ghost behind the glass You kiss me like a secret That the future can’t outlast You're electric in the dark Like a spark I can't contain Every moment leaves a mark In the corners of my brain I would chase you through the wires Burning love like neon fire You're electric— Electric in the dark Leather jacket, your perfume Smelled like danger, stars, and sin We fell hard in hotel rooms While the world came crashing in No one warned me what you'd do But I'd fall again, I swear Even though I always knew You were never really there Now your shadow's on my ceiling Like a film from '85 I keep rewinding memories Where you swore we’d stay alive You're electric in the dark Like a spark I can't contain Every moment leaves a mark In the corners of my brain I would chase you through the wires Burning love like neon fire You're electric— Electric in the dark So play that song we used to know Let it echo through the blue We’re just strangers in the glow But I still remember you You're electric in the dark You're the glitch I can’t repair Still I touch your name in sparks Like it's written in the air I would chase you through the wires Burning love like neon fire You're electric— Electric in the dark
