Wanna keep you by my side

Wanna fall into the night

'Cause you keep the love for yourself

Can he treat you like no one else

Did you hear the lies that you tell

But love will take us back

Tonight
This serves as an invitation for the partner to join the singer in making things right between them and finding happiness in the present moment.

You are fading away

We're strangers in the night

Hold on

There's no turning back

Feel it in your touch

That things are not the same
The singer acknowledges that the state of their relationship is evolving and may not be like it was before, causing them to feel uncertain and uneasy.

Never needed much

But don't wanna play the game

Hold on

Hold on
