The Kiss
A-Set Lyrics

You know, I can still remember the other night
The memories of that significant evening remain vivid in my mind.

Under all the lights
Beneath the bright, romantic lights that adorned the area.

That you'd hung up all around
The lights you thoughtfully decorated the space with.

As the dawn was approaching
As morning began to break and night transitioned into day.

We'd spent all night talking
We had engaged in deep, meaningful conversations throughout the night.

And we'd had too much to drink
We indulged in alcohol, perhaps more than was wise.

Now everything is standing still
Time seems to have frozen in this moment of reflection.

I'm holding my breath, dear, when did I get here
I feel a mix of anxiety and anticipation, wondering how I found myself in this situation.

Oh girl, you gave me such a thrill
You brought an exhilarating excitement into my life.

I'm searching empty spaces all around
I am looking into the void, feeling a profound sense of loss and emptiness.

I sing the words, but I can't hear the sound
I express my emotions through song, but they feel inaudible and hollow.

My heart's beatin, but it's been beaten
Though my heart is still alive, it has endured pain and trauma.

Won't you come and take me away
I long for you to rescue me from my current predicament.

Come and take me away
Please liberate me and transport me to a better place.

The way that I'm feeling
My emotions are overwhelming and complex right now.

Why I'm done with believing
I've lost faith in the possibility of things improving.

That things would ever be the same
I no longer believe that our past joy can be restored.

After that night
Since that fateful evening, everything has changed.

You lied in the moonlight
Under the soft glow of the moon, you deceived me.

And your eyes shone like the stars in the sky
Your eyes sparkled with a brilliance that captivated me.

But why'd you have to spend the night
I question your intentions for staying with me that night.

We could have turned this all around
There was potential for us to change the course of our situation.

Stay by my side now, I won't let you down
I promise to be there for you and not disappoint you anymore.

Girl, you shine brighter than this town
You possess a radiance that outshines everything around us.

I'm searching empty spaces all around
I continue to feel the void and lack of fulfillment in my surroundings.

I sing the words, but I can't hear the sound
Though I express my feelings verbally, it resonates without impact.

My heart's beatin, but it's been beaten
While I'm still emotionally alive, I carry the scars of heartache.

Won't you come and take me away
I implore you to help me escape my current state of despair.

I'm searching empty spaces all around
Again, I find myself in a landscape devoid of meaning and connection.

I sing the words, but I can't hear the sound
Once more, I find my expressions falling flat, devoid of true resonance.

My heart's beatin, but it's been beaten
Despite my heart still functioning, it has experienced significant hurt.

Won't you come and take me away
Please rescue me from the pain I am experiencing.

Part of me wants to go back to that night
I am torn between nostalgia for that night and the pain it caused.

And part of me wants to forget
Yet, I equally wish to erase those memories and their impact on me.

Feels like I went down without a fight
I feel as if I succumbed passively to the circumstances without resistance.

You poisoned me with your kiss
Your affection had a detrimental, intoxicating effect on me.

Part of me wants to go back to that night
A lingering desire exists to revisit the moments of that evening.

And part of me wants to forget
Conversely, a strong urge prevails to erase those damaging recollections.

Feels like I went down without a fight
Once again, I sense I fell victim to emotions without standing up for myself.

You poisoned me with your kiss
Your kiss left a lingering toxicity that still affects me deeply.

Oh Maria, please stay near
Maria, I long for your presence to ground me.

Cause it all seemed brighter when you were here
Your presence made my world feel more vibrant and alive.

Hold me close so I won't disappear
I need you to embrace me so that I can feel whole and present.

Oh Maria, please stay near
Once more, I request for you to remain close to me.

Cause I felt alive when you were near
Your presence invigorated me and made me feel truly alive.

Hold me close and take me far from here
Embrace me and lead me away from this painful reality.

I'm searching empty spaces all around
I keep looking inward and outward, feeling intense hollowness.

I sing the words, but I can't hear the sound
While I vocalize my feelings, they feel lost and unheard.

My heart's beatin, but it's been beaten
Even though my heart is alive, it bears the weight of past hurt.

Won't you come and take me away
Again, I plead for someone to rescue me from my current despair.

Oh Maria, please stay near
Maria, I am favoring your closeness desperately.

Cause I felt alive when you were near
Your nearby presence filled me with vitality and joy.

Hold me close and take me far from here
I seek your embrace to escape from my current distressing feelings.
