i wrote “u + i tonite” as a sort of generic pop song to practice pop production. i wasn’t planning on releasing it but i really loved the chorus and the drums, so it became the first song off my debut EP.
[Verse 1]
Ride, you're a ride
My mind electrified
As I slide, slip inside
You talk me through the night, through the night
Convince my body that you’ll
Never use those eyes on other boys
Convince my body, and you'll
Never have to lie, yeah, make your choice
[Pre-Chorus]
Come with me
Hide no more
They don't know, say it slow
They don’t know
You know they'll never know
[Chorus]
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It's you and I tonight
It's you and I tonight
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It's you and I tonight
It's you and I
[Verse 2]
Stay, oh please stay
I won't turn you away
Run away to a place
They'll let us show our face, show our face
So touch my body, oh yeah
Never turn those eyes away from mine
Touch my body, baby
Take me to the places that you hide
[Chorus]
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It’s you and I tonight
It’s you and I tonight
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It's you and I tonight
It’s you and I
[Bridge]
Come with me
Hide no more
They don't know, say it slow
They don't know
And if you're awake tonight, come with me
Hide no more
They can know, don’t be slow
They can know
Yeah you can let 'em know
[Chorus]
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It's you and I tonight
It's you and I
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It's you and I tonight
It's you and I tonight
So pull me close and tight
Outside the city light
It's you and I tonight
It's you and I
