Lyrics[]

Baby, it's time to make up your mind
I think that tonight is when our stars align
Honey, it's time to leave the doubt behind
Take my hand 'cause you and I are gonna shine

I was cold in the dark
It was empty in my life
From the outside it looked so bright
But nothing felt right... to me

Like a sky with no sun
Like a night that has no day
My heart was eclipsed by the dark
Then something changed

I saw a little ray of light come through
The tiniest of sparks came into view
And then
You made me hope again

I've been watching you, helping you
Wishing that you'd see
That the girl you've been waiting so long for could be me

Now - I've never been in love
But I think this is it
It might seem like a school girl crush
But I have to admit

I wanna take a chance and make you see
I think that you're the one who'll rescue me
This time
You're finally gonna see you should be mine

But baby, it's time to make up your mind
I think that tonight is when our stars align
Honey, it's time to leave the doubt behind
Take my hand 'cause you and I are gonna shine

I won't need any dreams
It's all there if you're by my side
Every moment's enough
And you take me to paradise

When I needed a hero you knew it
And you were there
And I'm scared but I'll open my heart up
I'm ready to dare

I know I've never felt like this before
I never really knew what love was for
I dreamed
But never did believe

But baby, it's time to make up your mind
I think that tonight is when our stars align
Honey, it's time to leave the doubt behind
Take my hand 'cause you and I are gonna
Light the sky until it's dawn and
Baby you and I are gonna shine[1]

Trivia[]

  • Monty Oum released a bonus dance video which included different characters performing the dance routine that JNPR performed in "Dance Dance Infiltration". The video can be found on his Facebook.
  • The song was released as a free download during the Rooster Teeth Extra Life stream after a stretch goal was reached.
  • An instrumental segment of the song is heard in "Dance Dance Infiltration", however, it is not included in the soundtrack.
  • The song was also referenced in RWBY Chibi in the episode "Nefarious Dreams". When Mercury Black jams out to an instrumental version of it during the skit of the same name.
  • The song is in the key of F# minor. This is perhaps an instance of tragic irony, as despite Pyrrha describing a brief moment of happiness in the lyrics, she meets her untimely death in the next volume. Thus the use of a minor mode sets a bittersweet tone, albeit retroactively.
