[Intro – Soulful blues guitar, reversed piano, distant female whispers] [Husky gritty male blues vocal] Mmm... yeah... There's a fire in the silence And a storm behind your eyes... [Female whisper] Don't let go... Don't let go... [Reversed vocal chops] Closer... closer... [Deep 808 heartbeat, snapping percussion] [Verse 1 – Male trap rap, bouncy syncopated flow] Two in the morning, head full of noise Heart doing circles when I hear your voice Cold on the outside, heat underneath Little bit of heaven that I can't quite reach You move left, I move right Two lost souls in the same streetlight Bad reputation for running away But my feet won't move when you say my name One look, two shots, three steps closer Whole world spins when you lean on my shoulder Don't wanna know what tomorrow might bring Give me tonight, let the telephone ring [Husky blues male] Oh, let it ring... Let the whole world ring... [Short electric guitar lick] [Pre-Chorus – Husky blues male lead, ethereal female harmonies] I've been chasing shadows Trying to catch the sun Every road I've travelled Led me back to one [Female voice rises] And I can feel you breathing Like thunder in my bones If we only have this moment Don't let this moment go... [Snare build, rising guitar bends] [Sudden silence] [Chorus – Angelic female vocal, hypnotic melody] Keep me in the dark... [Reverse line x2] Where the wild hearts glow... [Reverse final words x2] Take me by the heart... [Slow rising melody] Don't let the daylight know... [Echo: know... know... know...] Oh, we go high, high, high When the world goes low, low, low Hold me tight, tight, tight Don't let the daylight know... [Husky male harmony] Oh, don't let it know... [HUGE DROP – Distorted bouncy 808, pounding EDM kick, dirty blues guitar riff] Low, low, low! Don't let the daylight know! High, high, high! We're never coming down tonight! [Reversed female vocal chops] Know-know-know! Go-go-go! [Blues guitar and three-note synth hook] [Heavy rhythmic bass drop] [Verse 2 – Male trap rap, faster playful delivery] Moon in the rearview mirror Every heartbeat coming through clearer Looking for a reason, found a feeling instead Now your melody's stuck in the back of my head No brakes, no map, no telling where we're going Cracked-up heart but the whole thing's glowing Used to keep my distance, hands to myself Now I'm taking my chances, putting fear on the shelf You make midnight feel bright Every wrong turn feels a little bit right If the sky falls down, let it fall where we stand Got the whole damn universe inside your hand [Husky blues male response] Ooh, you got me now... You got me now... [Expressive sliding guitar fill] [Pre-Chorus 2 – Blues male lead with airy female harmonies] I've been sleeping with the ghosts Of the things I couldn't save Had a thousand empty promises I buried in the rain [Female vocal builds] But I can feel you breathing Like thunder in my bones If we only have this moment Don't let this moment go... [Accelerating snare roll, guitar climbs] [Silence] [Chorus – Female lead, layered blues harmonies] Keep me in the dark... [Reverse line x2] Where the wild hearts glow... [Reverse final words x2] Take me by the heart... [Slow rising melody] Don't let the daylight know... [Echo: know... know... know...] Oh, we go high, high, high When the world goes low, low, low Hold me tight, tight, tight Don't let the daylight know... [SECOND DROP – Harder EDM bass, funky blues guitar stabs] Low, low, low! Don't let the daylight know! High, high, high! We're never coming down tonight! [Reversed vocal chops] Know-know-know! Go-go-go! [Instrumental – Blues guitar and synth call-and-response] [Bridge – Stripped-back electric guitar, husky soulful male lead] I don't need forever Don't need another lie Just somewhere I can fall apart Without having to hide And if the morning finds us With nothing left to show I'll have one night worth keeping That the daylight doesn't know [Female whisper] Doesn't know... Doesn't know... [Emotional blues guitar solo, warm bends and vibrato] [Female whisper] Keep me in the dark... [Reverse x2] [Male gritty whisper] Where the wild hearts glow... [FINAL BUILD – Rising synths, blues guitar climbs, pounding heartbeat kicks] [Female soaring vocal] Take me by the heart... [Husky male] Oh, take me... [Female powerful sustained note] DON'T LET THE DAYLIGHT KNOW! [FINAL MASSIVE DROP – Euphoric EDM trap, aggressive 808, dirty blues guitar] Low, low, low! Don't let the daylight know! High, high, high! We're never coming down tonight! Oh, we go high, high, high! When the world goes low, low, low! Hold me tight, tight, tight! Don't let the daylight know! [Extended guitar/synth hook, chopped female vocals, bouncing bass] [Outro – Beat fades, lonely blues guitar] [Husky male blues] Mmm... Some things are better in the dark... [Female distant whisper] Don't let the daylight know... [Reversed echo] Know... know... know...
