Only You Tonight is a melodic deep house / dance-pop track about getting lost in the moment with one special person. Emotional vocals, warm chords and a driving groove blend into a late-night city soundtrack made for headphones, dancefloors and long drives.

Only You Tonight

I'm still not 100% happy with this one, it's the most complicated modern pop song I've ever attempted. After weeks of work, it's still not where I want it to be, but I believe it's not a good idea to drag my heels on a song. So I'm publishing this and moving on to the next one. Thank you for listening.

Lyrics:
Tell me, how does it feel
To live the life I imagined in the dark at 3 AM
When I couldn't sleep, mapping out the future like a blueprint
Did you take the pages from my journal, or did we just want the same thing
And how do you know exactly how to steal my light
Right when I need it most, like you've studied all my patterns
Are you a thief who learned my combination
Or are you a ghost I summoned by wanting it too much

But I can't place it, can't place it
Where we overlap or where you just erased me
I can't place it, can't place it
The line between inspiration and replacement

And I wonder, do you think of me
When you're alone in all the rooms I pictured
Or do you only think of what I could've been
If I'd been braver, faster, better at believing
Do you ever trace it back and see my fingerprints
On every choice you made that led you here
Or am I just the rough draft
That you don't remember writing

Why did you come here, to this specific corner of the world
The one I circled on the map and never had the courage to visit
And what did you need that you couldn't find somewhere else
In some other city with some other version of this dream
And why didn't you tell me when we met that one time
That you were building something from the plans I left behind
What you wanted to be, was it always this
Or did my wanting it first make it seem worth having

Did I place it in the wrong hands, the wrong moment
Did I show too much before I'd built the walls yet
Did I place it where anyone could take it
And make it theirs before I knew to claim it

And I wonder, do you think of me
When you're alone in all the rooms I pictured
Or do you only think of what I could've been
If I'd been braver, faster, better at believing
Do you ever trace it back and see my fingerprints
On every choice you made that led you here
Or am I just the rough draft
That you don't remember writing

In another life, maybe I could be
The one to save you from the weight of this
But in this one I'm just the blueprint you don't credit
The foundation you don't mention when they ask how you built it
And maybe that's the price of dreaming out loud

So I wonder, do you think of me
When they ask you how you thought of this
Or do you only think of what I could've been
Just another person with a plan they never finished
Do you ever feel the echo of my almost in your always
Do you ever wonder what I'm building now
Or am I just the story that you don't tell
The rough draft that you don't remember writing

Tell me, how does it feel
To be the answer to a question I was asking
Before you even knew to listen

Difficult
