AFTER THREE

[INTRO — DEEP, BREATHY, MYSTERIOUS MALE VOICE] Ah-ah… It's almost three… And I still haven't left… [VERSE 1 — SOFT VOCALS, SLOW AND CAPTIVATING RHYTHM] The elevator stopped, nobody spoke Your eyes asked what your lips never told Outside, the city was starting to sleep But something inside me was asking me to stay You fixed your hair without looking at me I smiled, trying not to let it show That out of all the places I could go It was right there beside you where I wanted to be [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING TENSION, MORE OPEN VOCALS] And the clock keeps moving on But neither of us can walk away There are words caught in our breathing And a secret dancing between us in the room [CHORUS — POWERFUL VOCALS, BIG, CATCHY MELODY] After three, let the world wait Tonight, I've got a thousand reasons to stay Your voice so close, your slow smile You turn the silence into feeling After three, there's no need to explain Some desires don't know how to speak If this night holds what we lived through I want you to remember tomorrow what happened between me and you Oh-oh-oh, don't let it end! Ah-ah-ah, I still wanna dance! After three, after three I'd discover you all over again! [VERSE 2 — STRONGER GROOVE, SENSUAL MALE VOCALS] Your jacket was left on the chair And our conversation lasted through the whole night You told me what you hide from the world I showed you my deepest side It wasn't an impulse, nor coincidence It was your truth overcoming appearances And when you held my hand Even the unexpected found its direction [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING HARMONIES] And the clock keeps moving on But neither of us can walk away There's so much I wanna discover And not a single desire to leave this place [CHORUS — INTENSE VOCALS, BACKING VOCALS AND PROMINENT BASS] After three, let the world wait Tonight, I've got a thousand reasons to stay Your voice so close, your slow smile You turn the silence into feeling After three, there's no need to explain Some desires don't know how to speak If this night holds what we lived through I want you to remember tomorrow what happened between me and you Oh-oh-oh, don't let it end! Ah-ah-ah, I still wanna dance! After three, after three I'd discover you all over again! [BRIDGE — DELICATE PIANO, DEEP AND EMOTIONAL VOICE] Maybe the daylight will come and wake us up Maybe routine will try to tear us apart But there's a truth I won't hide Being here with you felt different And if you ask me what I want right now I won't make excuses or walk away I want more than a passing memory I wanna know if this story has a whole lifetime ahead [CLIMAX — MALE BELTING, HIGH NOTES AND AD-LIBS] DON'T GO! There's still so much left to say! STAY A LITTLE LONGER! I still wanna get to know you! It's not just the night, it's not just the moment It's what you've awakened deep inside And if the sun comes up while I'm still here I'll be grateful I stayed with you! Ah-ah-ah-ah! Let time keep running! Oh-oh-oh-oh! I want you! [FINAL CHORUS — INSTRUMENTAL EXPLOSION, DOUBLED VOCALS] After three, let the world wait Tonight, I've got a thousand reasons to stay Your voice so close, your slow smile You turn the silence into feeling After three, there's no need to explain Some desires don't know how to speak If this night holds what we lived through I want you to remember tomorrow what happened between me and you Oh-oh-oh, don't let it end! Ah-ah-ah, I still wanna dance! After three, after three I'd choose you all over again! [OUTRO — SOFT FALSETTO, INSTRUMENTAL FADING AWAY] It's almost three… Now it's four… And I'm still here… Ah-ah… I'm so glad I didn't leave…
