Jess Ribeiro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let us forget awhile all our petty woes, oh
Did you know that you and I, we create the night?
Those stars above us shining, well I made them for you darling
You can have everything right here beside me
All you have to do is to take a risk and

Slip the leash
Slip the leash
Slip the leash
Take yourself away
It's all right in front of our eyes
It's a state of mind

Standing here in the dark, silver glitter golden
Will you come outside tonight, I dare you

Slip the leash
Slip the leash
Slip the leash
Take yourself away
It's all right in front of our eyes
It's a state of mind

Let us forget awhile all our petty woes, oh
Did you know that you and I, we create the night?

Slip the leash
Slip the leash
Take yourself away




Take yourself away
Take yourself away
