A night in August on a balcony
At Vesterbro, second floor
With Billy I talk about wind and weather
Yet another Saturday night we ended up here
Cigarettes, carbonated water and gin
We talk a lot, but we don't say anything
I pour it down and the stereo is playing;
"I see you in the dark"
The small hairs at my neck raise
"Dude, this track - where was it from, again?"
There's something about the sound of the piano
Having transported me back
Last time I heard these tones,
I had my arms in the air, and believe me
I used to fly far, far away
Back when the world was empty and the DJ was God
I can see you in the front of my eyes now, uh
I see you in the dark
I see you in the dark
I see
Glittering lips
Tanned skin
I'm 17 years old and so gone
In an ocean of people - so tight
With a hand over my head and a drink in the other one
I'm weightless now - so light
The seconds last forever
The world is bathed in light, and I actually
Don't really know you, but you smile and sing
"I see you in the dark"
The entire world knows this song
My muscles get tense before it all starts
And you whisper to me
"Take me, promise me that we'll never land
I see you in the dark
I see you in the dark
'Cause the nights which last forever
In the flickering lights...
I see you in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
I see you in the dark (in the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
I see you in the dark
