Nightfall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take me back to where we started
Shadows dancin' on the floor
Let the dark help us remember what we're fighting for
Full moon, making magic
Light a candle, let it cast a spell
I can't hide the way I want you, baby, can't you tell?

[Chorus]
Turn the lights down, we can watch the stars crawl
You and I fall, baby, when the night falls
Throw a spark, we can shine underneath it all
You and I fall, baby, when the night falls

[Verse 2]
From sunset to sunrise
I'll be the keeper of your heart
I'll be here right beside you through the darkest part
Heaven's just above the Milky Way
Stay right here and be my saving grace
Straight on until the morning, don't you be afraid

[Chorus]
Turn the lights down, we can watch the stars crawl
You and I fall, baby, when the night falls
Throw a spark, we can shine underneath it all
You and I fall, baby, when the night falls
[Bridge]
I've been dreaming of a night like this
Put my name on your midnight list
You and I fall (You and I fall, you and I fall)
You and I fall (You and I fall)
When the night falls

[Chorus]
Turn the lights down, we can watch the stars crawl
You and I fall, baby, when the night falls
Throw a spark, we can shine underneath it all
You and I fall, baby, when the night falls

[Bridge]
I've been dreaming of a night like this
Put my name on your midnight list
You and I fall (You and I fall, you and I fall)
You and I fall (You and I fall)
When the night falls

[Outro]
You and I fall (You and I fall, you and I fall)
You and I fall (You and I fall, you and I fall)
You and I fall when the night falls

What did Little Big Town say about "Nightfall"?
Genius Answer

I love the lift of that chorus. We did that with Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian, who Karen wrote that with. They are incredible musicians. Throughout this record, we tried to [say], ‘If we’re going to bring a sound in, make sure it’s important. Make sure it matters.‘ Every sound you hear in there is definitely intentional and it comes in when it does to add another texturing layer.
