Lyric

The sky is fading into purple on the ocean line

Your shadow drawing on the pavement, walking just ahead of mine

You laugh at something I can't hear, carried by the wind

I keep my hands inside my pockets, scared to say it all again

Every step you take feels like a step into tomorrow

And I'm still standing here, half in light and half in shadow

Take me with you tonight

Before the streetlights blur you out of sight

I don't wanna watch your back grow smaller in the light

If your road is getting brighter

Let me be there by your side

If you're leaving for the future

Take me with you tonight

The distant city starts to sparkle, one by one the lights

You talk about the dreams you carry, burning quiet and bright

I nod along and say I'm fine, like I always do

Afraid that if I show my longing, it will only burden you

Every word you say feels like a door that's slowly open

And I am on the edge, holding all the things unspoken

Take me with you tonight

Before the streetlights blur you out of sight

I don't wanna watch your back grow smaller in the light

If your road is getting brighter

Let me be there by your side

If you're leaving for the future

Take me with you tonight

I don't need a promise written in the sky

I just wanna walk beside you, step for step, in real life

If there's room inside your story, even just a line

Let my name be there, echoing between your days and mine

So take me with you tonight

Let the sunrise find us still all right

Two small figures on the road, not disappearing into white

If your road is getting brighter

Let me be there by your side

If you're leaving for the future

Take me with you tonight

Take me with you tonight
