[Intro] (soft piano, distant sounds of the night, a warm synth in the background) [Verse 1] When the city slowly fades to dark and I’m left alone with the moon, I feel the memory of you breathing within the folds of the room. Every thought changes color as it reaches out to you, and this starless night seems to light up because I imagine you still here with me. [Pre-Chorus] You left a mark upon my skin that simply won't go away, like a secret on my lips, like a sweet nostalgia. And if this is my sin, I have no wish to confess it, because every time I think of you I feel my heart start beating anew. [Chorus] The night holds the scent of you, of your hands and your breath, of those times when I reached for you, though you weren't near. The night holds the scent of you, and I find you again with my eyes closed; I trace your face in the darkness with the memories I haven't lost. And the more I try to forget, the more you return to me... the night holds the scent of you. [Verse 2] I’ll wait for time to pass sitting beneath an endless sky, with the moon as an accomplice to the desires I keep unspoken. Perhaps tomorrow will be different, perhaps I’ll have you by my side again, but tonight it’s enough to know that somewhere in the world you, too, are looking at this same sky. [Pre-Chorus] And every road leads back to the memory of a night spent with you; every silence holds your voice, every shadow speaks of me. I don't know if it's love or nostalgia, I no longer know what to call it; I only know that when I think of you, I cannot forget it. [Chorus] The night holds the scent of you, it holds the scent of your hands and your breath, it holds the memory of those times when I reached for you, though you weren't near. The night holds the scent of you, and I find you again with my eyes closed; I trace your face in the darkness with the memories I haven't lost. And the more I try to forget, the more you return to me... the night holds the scent of you. [Bridge] (strings swell, voice becomes more intimate) And when the dawn arrives to steal the color from the night, the warmth of your words will linger on my skin. Perhaps we won't be together, perhaps it will be nothing but a dream, but there are desires that do not need the light of day. [Final Chorus] (sweeping strings, soft drums, intense vocals) The night holds the scent of you, just as the sea knows the moon, just as the sky knows how to wait when a star drifts away. The night holds the scent of you, and I find you in every breath; even though you are far away, I still feel you close by. And when the world wakes up again, I will carry you with me... because every night to come will still hold the scent of you. [Outro] (piano solo, synth fading out) It holds the scent of you... this night holds the scent of you... and in the silence, I still feel you here.
