Description:

This is a song that Tegan Quin wrote and that appeared on the album The Con. Tegan sings the lead vocals and Sara sings the background vocals.

Lyrics:

Dark, you can't come soon enough for me

Saved from one more day of misery

Everything I love get back from me now

Everyone I love, I need you now

Don't forget a million miles from me

Safe, and another day can pass by me

Everything I love get back from me now

Everyone I love, I need you now

So what I lied (Come on, come on)

I lie to me too (So what)

So what I lied (Come on, come on)

I lie to me too (So what)

Hold out for the ones you know will love you

Hide out from the ones you know will love you, you, you too

Right to the edge I'm barely there

Slow to make my move I'm almost there

Everything I say, I say to me first

Everything I do, I do to me first 

So what I lied, I lie to me too (So what)

So what I lied, I lie to me too

Hold out for the ones you know will love you

Hide out from the ones you know will love you, you, you too

Dark, you can’t come soon enough for me

Trivia and Quotes:

“I think “Dark Come Soon” is my favorite Tegan and Sara song. I remember receiving the demo, thinking it was really heartbreaking. Tegan does this better than I do — you immediately visualize a location, sort of like the beginning of a novel. You know exactly where it takes place, what’s happening; she’s very good at setting that tone. I always see this song almost as a set. Whatever she describes is what I see, there’s just something very noir about it. I’ve always loved it a lot.” - Sara in 2016
