[Verse 1] You caught me where the streetlights end Past the gates where nobody goes Red jacket hanging off my shoulders Trouble written in the way I pose You said, “Boy, you’re gonna get us caught” I said, “Then stop looking at me like that” You’ve always been the careful one I’ve always liked destroying that [Pre-Hook] You keep saying we should leave While you’re moving closer to me Funny how your mouth says run But your eyes keep saying stay [Hook] Meet me after dark Where the good boys lose their halos Where nobody knows our names And nobody tells us where we can go Meet me after dark Bring that pretty little heartbeat I’ll bring every bad decision You’ve been dying to make with me Boy, if loving me is trouble Then tonight let’s make it art Meet me Meet me after dark [Verse 2] There’s a storm sitting behind your eyes Like you’re scared of what you really want You spent your whole life playing innocent I can tell you’re getting tired of the part I don’t need you perfectly behaved I want the side you never let them see The one that laughs too loud at midnight The one that only comes alive with me [Pre-Hook] You can blame it on the moon Blame the whiskey, blame the view But when your fingers find my hand We both know exactly what you’re choosing [Hook] Meet me after dark Where the good boys lose their halos Where nobody knows our names And nobody tells us where we can go Meet me after dark Bring that pretty little heartbeat I’ll bring every bad decision You’ve been dying to make with me Boy, if loving me is trouble Then tonight let’s make it art Meet me Meet me after dark [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow you’ll regret me Maybe I’ll pretend I don’t care Maybe we’ll swear it was one night Then somehow keep meeting everywhere But don’t call this an accident You’ve been looking at me for weeks And boys don’t cross forbidden lines Unless there’s somewhere they wanna be [Breakdown] No promises No alibis Just your hand Locked into mine Let the whole damn world sleep We’re finally awake [Final Hook] Meet me after dark Where the skyline turns to shadows Where the boy you’re scared to become Finally gets to take control Meet me after dark You don’t have to play it safely If you want me, say you want me Don’t keep looking through me, baby Maybe loving me is trouble Maybe that’s your favorite part So meet me Meet me after dark [Outro] You said, “This is a bad idea.” I smiled. “Then why are you still here?”
