A Night Like This
Bavasso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all
I want to change
the past
It goes fast
It goes faster still
If you can't stand
Then walk
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

Say goodbye on a night like this
This is the moment we bid farewell, and it won't be easy
If it's the last thing we ever do
Parting ways might be forever and we need to do it right
You never looked as lost as this
You seem disoriented, and I'm worried about you
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
I can't understand this version of you, it's puzzling
It goes dark
The light fades away and darkness engulfs us
It goes darker still
The darkness intensifies, creating a gloomy atmosphere
Please stay
I'm begging you, don't leave me alone in this darkness
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
I can't move, my emotions are frozen as I see you go
As you walk away
You keep moving farther and farther, making it harder for me
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
I won't give up looking for you, no matter how long it takes
A witch hunt for another girl
I'll search for you like a detective, even if it feels like a witch hunt
For always and ever is always for you
I'll always care for you, even if we're apart
Your trust
The faith you had in me is the most beautiful thing I ever had
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
I regret losing your trust, it was my greatest mistake
Say hello on a day like today
This is the start of a new day, and I want to greet you
Say it everytime you move
I want to hear your every movement, and I want to hear it from you
The way that you look at me now
Your gaze is so powerful, it almost overwhelms me
Makes me wish I was you
I feel so inferior, and I wish I could be more like you
It goes deep
This connection we have is profound, it goes beyond our surface level
It goes deeper still
Our connection is rooted so deeply, it's almost unbreakable
This touch
The way you touch me, it's electric and it feels so right
And the smile and the shake of your head
Your demeanor is charming, your smile is contagious, and even the way you shake your head is endearing
Can't stand here like this anymore
I can't keep standing here, the moment is too powerful
I want it to be perfect
I want every moment with you to be flawless, so I'll give everything to make it so
Like before
I remember how great it was when we were together, and I want to recapture that magic
I want to change it all
I'm willing to do everything differently, just to be with you
