The song

“Night Craving”

I feel you moving in the dark
Read the lyrics

I feel you moving in the dark
A silent fire hitting spark
No way to run away to hide
You pull me closer every time

Your touch is cold but burns my skin
A dangerous place I'm falling in
I know your love is not safe
But I still want the taste

I got that night craving
Your love is dangerous but I'm not saving
Every breath, every move you make
Pulls me under, I can't escape
I've got that night craving
Your shadow owns me, no escaping
Every touch, every word you say
Drags me deeper, I wanna stay

The moon is watching what we do
A secret world just me and you
No heartbeat but I feel alive
When you look at me like that tonight

Your kiss is dark like poison, one touch
And I lose myself every time
A love that breaks but feels so right
I'm yours forever in the night

I got that night craving
Your love is dangerous but I'm not saving
Every breath, every move you make
Pulls me under, I can't escape
I've got that night craving
Your shadow owns me, no escaping
Every touch, every word you say
Drags me deeper, I wanna stay

No light, no rules, no turning back
Just your hands and fading black
If this is wrong then let it be
'Cause darkness feels like home to me

I got that night craving
Your love is dangerous but I'm not saving
Every breath, every move you make
Pulls me under, I can't escape
I've got that night craving
Your shadow owns me, no escaping
Every touch, every word you say
Drags me deeper, I wanna stay
