That Midnight Thang
Embracing the Allure of Midnight
Lyrics
I was always waiting on that midnight thang
I eagerly anticipated that experience or event that occurred at midnight.
Thought that something was wrong with me
I felt like there was something wrong or different about me because of this anticipation.
I was hangin' on the corner of every night
I spent my time hanging around, waiting during every night.
I heard people say to me
I overheard people commenting on my presence, assuming I was only there to get drunk or wasted.
You're only here to get wasted
Repeated emphasis on the assumption that I was present solely for getting intoxicated.
You're only here to get wasted
-But I won't hang around too long
Despite being around, I didn't plan to stay for too long.
In the morning I'll be gone
I intended to leave in the morning.
Cause daylight don't got nothing on me
Daylight wasn't appealing to me; I preferred the night.
The light's too bright my eyes can't see
I found the brightness of daylight uncomfortable or overwhelming.
I'm addicted to that midnight thang
I was addicted or strongly drawn to the experiences that happened at midnight.
Ooh I'm addicted to that midnight thang
Reiteration of being addicted to the events at midnight.
So excited what the night will bring
I felt excited about the possibilities or events that the night might bring.
Don't wanna miss a minute of that midnight thang
I didn't want to miss any moment of the experiences that occurred at midnight.
I was always waiting on that midnight thang
Repetition of eagerly awaiting the midnight experience.
I thought the day would last too long
I thought the daytime was too long or dragged on.
I'd lose my patience, while waiting on the sun to go down
I grew impatient waiting for the sun to set because I felt more comfortable at night.
It was the night were I belonged
The night felt like where I truly belonged or felt at home.
It was a time to get wasted
Repeated emphasis on the perception that the night was for getting wasted or intoxicated.
It was a time to get wasted
-I didn't hang around too long
Similar to line 9, I didn't plan to stick around for too long in the morning.
In the morning I'd be gone
Reiteration of intending to leave in the morning.
Cause daylight don't got nothing on me
I disliked daylight and favored the night.
The light's too bright my eyes can't see
Daylight was too bright for my eyes.
I'm addicted to that midnight thang
Reiteration of being strongly drawn or addicted to the experiences at midnight.
Ooh I'm addicted to that midnight thang
Repetition of being addicted to the events at midnight.
So excited what the night will bring
Excitement about the potential or experiences that the night might offer.
Don't wanna miss a minute of that midnight thang
Expressing a desire not to miss any part of the experiences at midnight.
