I wrote Weeknights just before leaving NYC for Paris in 2019. It’s a song about summer nights in the city, nervous hook ups and living with your heart on your sleeve. The song’s sonic character, to my ears, has an element of “French Touch” à la artists such as Air or Sébastien Tellier, so you can...
Dance us out of our clothes
Just don't let me go
'Til someone's in love
Don't stand there shaking on purpose
Making me nervous
Desperate to touch
You sway like a flower in rain
Heaven can wait
So dance us far from the city
I wanna feel pretty
I wanna be changed
Oooh
Oooh
Draw me into the background
Part of your plan now
I wanna be there
You saw me there with my guard down
Sleeve with my heart out
Wandering scared
Those weeknights after hours
When you came into the frame
Oh draw me into your corner
I wanna be yours
I wanna be saved
I'm gasping for a moment
With you
I'm tied up in the promises
Of you
I'm gasping for a moment
With you
