[Intro]
Soft rain taps the window, a hush in neon town
[Verse 1]
City lights blur through the rain, the night wears a velvet crown
Every drop is whispering your name, in echoes all around
Got your sweater wrapped around me tight, I’m drifting through the sound
Wishing you were holding me tonight, till morning comes around
[Pre-Chorus]
And the world just fades to gray
When you’re a million miles away
[Chorus]
Baby I need you, like the stars need the dark
Like a melody needs a beating heart
Baby I need you, it’s a cinematic scene
You’re the missing color on my movie screen
So come and paint my sky, make it all brand new
Baby I need you
[Verse 2]
Watching old black-and-white films alone
Hearing static on the telephone
Every shadow looks a bit like you
Dancing slowly in the living room
[Pre-Chorus]
Shimmering chimes build-up, soft rising bass, a gentle tide of hope
[Chorus]
Baby I need you, like the stars need the dark
Like a melody needs a beating heart
Baby I need you, it’s a cinematic scene
You’re the missing color on my movie screen
So come and paint my sky, make it all brand new
Baby I need you
[Bridge]
Across the hours, through the rain, I’m reaching for your every trace
Hold me closer till the dawn, let warmth return in your embrace
[Chorus]
Baby I need you, like the stars need the dark
Like a melody needs a beating heart
Baby I need you, it’s a cinematic scene
You’re the missing color on my movie screen
So come and paint my sky, make it all brand new
Baby I need you
[Outro]
Whispered promises drift on rain-washed air, you’re my quiet rescue tonight
[End]
