Despite the Night Songtext
von Sondre Lerche

I never came on strong
But then she came to me in a song
Her semblance would not soon dissolve
So misplaced in oblivion

I never sought her out
But then we crashed on my paper route
She placed her head upon my lap
And murmured, "it's your birthday"

Somebody else already found me
Somebody else, despite the night
Somebody else already found me out


She never came on strong
But then she came on to me with songs
Possessed me every single night
Her face, vivacious poetry
Her prose, an ocean of sore beauty

Somebody else already found me
Somebody else, despite the night
Somebody else already found me
Somebody else already found me out there, mid-air

Relay at the vanishing point
Despite the night, I don't wanna go home

Somebody else already found me
Somebody else, despite the night
Somebody else already found me
Somebody else already found me, love

Relay at the vanishing point
Despite the night, I don't wanna go home
