Lyrics:
Branded on fire
Sure in your love
Chasing a light in a locked door
And I do want it, want it for a peace of mind
Want it tonight
It's so right, so right, so right

Tell me when you let go
You can let it right in
I don't like the way you
Speak like you're tied up
You can say what you want but I'm giving it a chance
You can say what you want but I'm giving it a chance

Give me little reason to refuse my centre
Shifting in with feelings of a sweet surrender
I can feel it I can feel it alone
And I know why I can see it show
In your revelator eyes
In your revelator eyes

Stand on your side
Won't give it up
Take the desire in you I saw
And I do want it, want it for a peace of mind
Want it tonight
It's so right, so right, so right

I can see you lie low
Keeping to your hiding
Call it reaction
To your denying
You can say what you want but I'm giving it a chance
You can say what you want but I'm giving it a chance

Give me little reason to refuse my centre
Shifting in with feelings of a sweet surrender
I can feel it I can feel it alone
And I know why honey it won't go
In your revelator eyes
In your revelator eyes
In your revelator eyes
In your revelator eyes

This song is perfect while you're taking a road trip. Just cruising through the night.

I think that the story of this video is about insecurity, and the difficulty of being with someone. This guy has so much to offer this girl but he can't get over his awkwardness, and seeing how easily she connects with other people makes him even more unsure. He retreats to something he knows, music, and finally he's able to tell her the things he wasn't able to before as he's made this beautiful breakthrough. It's such a beautiful story about being young and not knowing how to reach someone, but realizing the magic of music and how to connect.

It’s been seven years, how is this still the most underrated song in the planet? ✨❤️

[kingarvin]

revelator eyes + Electric Indigo + Deep Blue Burn = bliss

[FruitPunch]

I love how the colour pallet in their videos are the same as the album cover artwork.

[jakeismyfirstname]

This song is unbelievably under-rated.

[andrewpatasik]

I got San Junipero vibe after watching this

[beadenise]

The actor and actress work so well together and with the song and the mv, which is funny because the actor, Harry Reynolds, happens to be the producer of this mv and he wasn’t officially “casted”, they just kind of casually asked him to play the part.

If a place like that existed, life would be great

[rishabh.malviya]

I've seen the video like a hundred times now, but every time I reach the part when she's singing and he's playing, I find myself inexplicably grinning. It's the cutest thing ever!

[rohansawant]

The way she's looking at him with her big beautiful doe eyes and that smile from 3:17. I can just feel the tension through the screen. I wish someone would look at me like that!

This song was released in 2015. How come I haven't heard of this song until now?!!? Youtube's algorithm sure knows how to bring our music taste to the next level somehow...

[MrSilentchild]

I can listen to this song 100 times a day

[PrincipessaDeAmore]

does anyone else feel like this song is too short? there is so much magical goodness, I really want it to last so much longer 💞

[whereisfrankocean]

discovering this band is the greatest discovery I've ever had

[red_j_ruff_wood]

This song is the anthem of night driving.

[mandybuehler]

5 years ago I was in love with this band, this song and especially this video. At the end of this video you see a beautiful bridge next to a ferris wheel over a huge river with a cityscape in the background. I loved that bridge so much, that I said to myself, I will be at that bridge one day! So I searched and searched and searched for an entire week. I never did find it. So I gave up... I was so disappointed. Last month i took professional pictures called light painting photography on that very bridge. It's in Minneapolis Minnesota. I didn't realize at the time that this was the same bridge until last night I was watching this video and low and behold.. My dream finally came true!! My 5 year ago self told me I was going to be on that bridge and I was!! All thanks to the paper kites and the people who made this video. Thank you so much for making a dream I once had come true, some might think this is small and trivial but to me... It meant everything! I jumped up screaming "that's the bridge that's the bridge!" 4:12 and shows again at 4:35 .. Too bad I can't show y'all the images they are phenomenal!

[IndependentVFX]

Definitely in the running for my favourite story driven video... it just knocked The Killers "Shot at the Night" out from my No.1 slot

[serenerhapsody]

Loooveee! I feel like I'm falling in love againnn! Without even thinking of anyone in particular!!! <3

[EarthtoRosita]

the 80's vibe is melting my heart.
