Leave the Night On
Leaving the Night On: Chasing Love Through Midnight Adventures
Lyrics
They roll the sidewalks in this town
Describes the closing of the town's activity.
All up after the sun goes down
Activities resume after sunset.
They say nothin' good happens here
Suggests a negative perception of the town at midnight.
When midnight rolls around
Implies a potential downturn in the atmosphere at midnight.
But layin' down would be in vain
Choosing not to rest because of thoughts of the person.
I can't sleep with you on my brain
Insomnia due to thinking about the person.
And I ain't anywhere close to tired
Expresses high energy and alertness.
Your kiss has got me wired
Attributing excitement to a kiss.
Girl, you got the beat right, killin' in your Levis
Complimenting the person's dance rhythm in Levis jeans.
High on your loving's got me buzzin' like a streetlight
Intoxication with love, comparing it to a streetlight's buzz.
It's still early out in Cali, baby, don't you wanna rally again
Encouraging the person to continue the night's excitement.
We'll find a road with no name, lay back in the slow lane
Suggests a carefree road trip without a specific destination.
The sky is dropping Jupiter around us like some old train
Paints a vivid picture of the night sky.
We'll be rolling down the windows, I bet you we're catchin' our second wind
Anticipating renewed energy and enthusiasm.
We don't have to go home, we can leave the night on
Proposing to extend the night rather than going home.
We can leave the night on, yeah yeah
Reiteration of the desire to prolong the night.
Now all the stars are turnin' blue
Observing the change in the night sky.
Just kissed the clock 2:22
Noting the time with a kiss at 2:22.
Baby, I know what you're wishin' for
Acknowledging shared desires and wishes.
I'm wishin' for it too
Expressing mutual longing and anticipation.
Now all the lights are flashin' gold
Highlighting the excitement with flashing lights.
Nobody cares how fast we go
Indifference to the speed of their journey.
Our soundtrack's in the stereo
Emphasizing the importance of music in the moment.
This DJ's on a roll
Credit to the DJ for creating a lively atmosphere.
Girl, you got the beat right, killin' in your Levis
Reiteration of the person's rhythmic influence.
High on your loving's got me buzzin' like a streetlight
Continued intoxication with love.
It's still early out in Cali, baby, don't you wanna rally again
Encouragement to maintain the night's excitement.
We'll find a road with no name, lay back in the slow lane
Reiteration of the desire for a carefree road trip.
The sky is dropping Jupiter around us like some old train
Metaphorical description of the night sky.
We'll be rolling down the windows, I bet you we're catchin' our second wind
Anticipating a revitalizing experience.
We don't have to go home, we can leave the night on
Proposal to continue the night instead of going home.
We can leave the night on
Reiteration of the desire to extend the night.
The sun'll steal the magic from us soon
Awareness of the impending sunrise.
So let's take one more trip around the moon
Suggesting one last memorable experience before dawn.
Girl, you got the beat right, killin' in your Levis
Reiteration of the person's rhythmic influence.
High on your loving's got me buzzin' like a streetlight
Continued intoxication with love.
It's still early out in Cali, baby, don't you wanna rally
Encouragement to maintain the night's excitement.
We'll find a road with no name, lay back in the slow lane
Reiteration of the desire for a carefree road trip.
The sky is dropping Jupiter all around us like some old train
Metaphorical description of the night sky.
We'll be rolling down the windows, I bet you we're catchin' our second wind
Anticipating a revitalizing experience.
We don't have go home, we can leave the night on
Proposal to continue the night instead of going home.
We can leave the night on
Reiteration of the desire to extend the night.
We can leave the night on
Final emphasis on the possibility of prolonging the night.
Buzzin' like a streetlight
Comparing the excitement to buzzing like a streetlight.
We can leave the night on
Reiteration of the possibility to leave the night on.
