Flight controller is here looking very carefully at the situation
Obviously a major malfunction
Your love is bright as ever (ever, ever, ever)
Even in the shadows (shadows, shadows, shadows)
Baby, kiss me (kiss me, kiss me, kiss me)
Before they turn the lights out (lights out, lights out, lights out)
Your heart is glowing (glowing, glowing, glowing)
And I'm crashing into you (into you, into you, into you)
Baby, kiss me (kiss me, kiss me, kiss me)
Before they turn the lights out (the lights out)
Before they turn the lights out (the lights out)
Baby, love me lights out
In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
[Verse 2:]
We don't have forever
Ooh, baby daylight's wasting (wasting, wasting, wasting)
You better kiss me (kiss me)
Before our time has run out
Mmmhh yeah...
Nobody sees what we see
They're just hopelessly gazing, oh
Oh, baby, take me, me
Before they turn the lights out
Before our time has run out
Baby, love me lights out
In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
[Hook:]
I love you like XO
You love me like XO
You kill me boy XO
You love me like XO
All that I see
Give me everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

Ino scans the crowd, trying to find him, before time has run out – where could he be? Sai can be very elusive when he gets in these reflective moods, and it's often difficult to find him when he wanders out.
Ino ignores the carnival around her; the smell of popcorn and cotton candy waft merrily through the air, and the sound of happy, laughing children fills the void. The night is dark, but the lights of the carnival blare through that darkness and cast a happy glow around everyone. Ino keeps searching in the darkest night hour, his face is all she can see in her mind's eye.
She has to tell him how much she loves him. They've been dating for a long time now, but somehow, Sai still had his doubts. When he heard tonight that Ino was checking out other men, he became discouraged and walked off to wander alone. Of course, this rumor wasn't even true – sure, Ino used to ogle after boys when she was younger, but that was all before she met Sai, and fell in love.
The carnival is coming to a close, as it's nearing midnight. Before they turn the lights out, Ino has to find Sai. She searches through the crowd desperately, looking from one ride to another, eyes affixed on the swirling coasters and the loopy merry go-round, trying to find his pale face.
Finally his face appears through the crowd – there's no mistaking that dark black hair and halter top, with an almost blank expression. He's leaning against a popcorn booth, staring off into the distance, slow tears rolling down his cheeks.
And then Ino is crashing into him, hugging him with all her power and holding him tight in her arms. She's muttering to him about how ridiculous it is that he actually thought she would flirt with someone else – that there is no one else, only him.
The tears have stopped flowing and now he's giving her a warm smile, "baby, kiss me."
And so she does – a passionate, fervent kiss full of all the love she's ever felt for him. His love is bright as ever, even in the shadows of the night, even after his misunderstanding. And she gives him everything that she has – her heart and soul, through this kiss and the promise of more to come, endlessly, for forever.

Author's Note: Thanks spilihp17for the prompt! Sorry it's pretty short, it's just a little drabble that I thought of while watching Beyonce's music video to the song - she's singing in a carnival and it's pretty cute. Anyways, thanks for the reviews guys! I've had to slow down with writing recently due to life lol and sometimes it's also hard to find an inspiration so, be patient. very patient. please! Thanks!
