Towards the Night

[Verse 1]
I take the train at half past 9
The temperature's around 6 degrees
There's no one else here at the platform
But it feels like someone's watching me

I can see the city skyline
From this cold and damp 143
I check my pockets carefully
To see if I still have my brother's ID

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gives me a thrill to push the limits
Of what I can get away with
The city is my playground
And I'm gonna explore and explore
And explore and explore

[Chorus 1]
Because I'm pulled towards the night
I can't help it
I dance with my demons
To keep them at bay
If you're that way inclined
We can share it
And dance all our demons away

[Verse 2]
I think it's time to get a taxi
Cause it's getting close to half past 3
I'm sat here pretty pleased with myself
After another night of debauchery

But I still have the strange sensation
That somebody's been following me
I feel a hand on my shoulder
Before I know it, I'm down on my knees

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Even still I love the danger
Falling into the arms of a stranger
And trust me when I say
I wanna do it again and again
And again and again

[Chorus 2]
Because I'm pulled towards the night
I can't help it
I dance with my demons
To keep them at bay
If you're that way inclined
We can share it
And dance all our demons away

Because I'm pulled towards the night
I can't help it
I dance with my demons
To keep them at bay
If you're that way inclined
We can share it
And dance all our demons away

[Bridge]
The night provides a cloak for all my
Insecurities 'cause I feel confident
Even though I'm just a boy

But my vulnerability increases
My self-esteem is in the hands of a stranger
And to him, I'm just a toy

[Chorus 3]
Because I'm pulled towards the night
I can't help it
I dance with my demons
To keep them at bay
If you're that way inclined
We can share it
And dance all our demons away

Because I'm pulled towards the night
I can't help it
I dance with my demons
To keep them at bay
If you're that way inclined
We can share it
And dance all our demons away
