After Dark Lyrics Novels & Stories

"Selamat malam, Nyonya Rayyan. Seseorang sedang menunggu anda. Ikuti rute ini hingga mengarah langsung padanya." Gea mengedarkan pandangan pada sosok wanita yang tidak terlihat. "Kenapa malah mengerikan." Gea memegang tengkuknya yang mulai meremang. Walaupun begitu, rasa penasaran membawa langkah kakinya tetap menelusuri tempat tersebut hingga sampai pada seseorang yang dimaksud. Tiba-tiba lampu padam, tempat menjadi gelap. Gea langsung takut dengan keringat dingin, tetapi cahaya di depan mata telah mengalahkan rasa takutnya, berganti dengan rasa penasaran.

Hey Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful angel Love your imperfections, every angle Tomorrow comes and goes before you know So I just had to let you know The way that Gucci look on you amazing But nothing can compare to when you're naked Now a backwood and some Henny got you faded Saying you the one for me, I need to face it Started when we were younger Swear to God that I loved her Sorry that your mom found out Guess that we just really had the thunder Ain't nobody else that I'd be under Beautiful, beautiful life right now Beautiful, beautiful night right now No no nooooo

Part 16 (Hanzel Si Menyebalkan) Malam kian pekat, tiba-tiba hujan turun deras, cahaya kilat itu menerobos melalui celah jendela, aku semakin erat memeluk tubuh Mas Hanzel. Jedar!

Sebuah api gelap yang merayap, menolak padam, dan menunggu saat yang tepat untuk membara lagi.

Lagi dan lagi.”

Seakan-akan Eagle Eyes mencoba mencaritahu suatu kebenaran yang belum sempat terucapkan, "We were love-drunk, waiting on a miracle, Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow, So alone in love like the world had disappeared, Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go, I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow, And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears, Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow, Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow," Di sana, aku mulai tak tahan lagi dengan 'permainan adu mata' ini. Tetiba kutemukan diriku sendiri berdiri, meletakkan mikrofon dan turun dari panggung.

And though the road is long, I look up to the sky In the dark I found, I stop and I won’t fly And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along I got all I need when I got you and I I look around me, and see sweet life I’m stuck in the dark but you’re my flashlight You’re gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night Can’t stop my heart when you shinin’ in my eyes Can’t lie, it’s a sweet life I’m stuck in the dark but you’re my flashlight You’re gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night Cause you’re my flash light.. You’re my flash light, you’re my flash light.

Kau melakukannya dengan orang lain, anehnya tidak menyebutnya lancang? Setahuku, dia teman lamamu, ‘kan? Hanya teman lama, bukan pasangan atau apapun itu!” Rafan terkekeh pelan. “Lucu sekali ya?” Setelahnya terdiam sejenak, mulai melewati mereka berdua. Namun, sebelum itu Rafan membisikkan sesuatu pada Bagas, membuatnya semakin diam.

I found a love for me Oh, darling, just dive right in and follow my lead Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet Oh, I never knew you were the someone waitin' for me 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love, not knowin' what it was I will not give you up this time Oh, darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own And in your eyes, you're holding mine Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass while listenin' to our favourite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it, Darling, you look perfect tonight.

Dia lalu mulai memetik gitar khayalan itu dan bernyanyi. “We were love drunk waiting on a miracle. Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow. So alone in love like the world had disappear. Oh I won’t be silent and I won’t let go. I will hold on tighter ‘till the afterglow. And we’ll burn so bright ‘till the darkness softly clear. Oh I will hold on to the afterglow.”
