Dim the lights around us so I can only see you in this maze of strangers.
Dim the lights so that my eyes can get used to the only living light shining here in this room; you.
Dim the lights so I can tell you we’re going to leave this dance floor real soon.
Dim the lights so we can walk home through the streets with only the moon guiding us.
Dim the lights so we can hold each other through the deepest of this night.
