[Intro: felt piano single notes, long decay, distant rain, cathedral reverb, low sub rumble] [Verse 1: soft warm baritone, intimate close-mic whisper] Neon flickers on the wet street Second floor, light still on I know you're still awake [Verse 1: breathy, closer] Keys left on the counter Your perfume in the hallway I didn't need a sign [Chorus: layered baritone whisper harmonies, wide stereo] After dark That's when you call me quiet After dark No need to say it louder Stay right there in that low light After dark [Drop: massive hard-hitting sub-bass drop, cinematic impact, low brass drone, long silence and tension] [Verse 2: even lower, hypnotic] City goes to sleep at midnight But we just learned to breathe Slow, slow [Verse 2: intimate] Your window is a cinema I'm watching from the rain Let me in without a word [Chorus: soft baritone, ethereal vocal chops of own voice] After dark That's when you call me quiet After dark No need to say it louder Stay right there in that low light After dark [Bridge: whispered, almost inaudible, LFO pad movement, distant cello swell] Don't turn on the lights Don't break the illusion Just... stay [Outro: felt piano, single final note, earth-shaking low-end tail, cathedral reverb, fade to silence] After dark.
