[Jean-Baptiste Chandelier]

Secret Nation – Tonight

Days run, nights fall away

Street lights guiding me

They show me the way

 Ooh ooh ooh

Take my hand I’ll lead you home

Escape our fame and walk alone

Turn down the lights tonight

The moon’s our guide

We dance, we sing, we live

We love tonight

Let’s run from the dawn

Before it knows we are gone

We dance, we sing, we live

We love tonight

Let’s get lost, ignore the signs

On streets of black and white

Let’s color in these lights

Ooh ooh ooh

A heart run wild

Knows no end

A love untied

Will rise again

Turn down the lights tonight

The moon’s our guide

We dance, we sing, we live

We love tonight

Let’s run from the dawn

Before it knows we are gone

We dance, we sing, we live

We love tonight

Turn down the lights tonight

The moon’s our guide

We dance, we sing, we live

We love tonight

Let’s run from the dawn

Before it knows we are gone

We dance, we sing, we live

We love tonight
