Staying Up Late
Late-Night Confessions: Love, Longing, and Lost Moments
Lyrics
Its 4am and my brain wont let me rest
The singer is unable to sleep at 4 am due to thoughts on their mind.
Its 4am, I just need to get it off my chest
Expressing a need to share thoughts or feelings that are bothering the singer.
So baby will you go with me
Asking the listener to accompany the singer for a conversation.
Talk it over coffee
Suggesting discussing things over a cup of coffee.
I think that we could work this out
Believing that the issues between them can be resolved.
You don't gotta shut me out
Requesting the listener to remain open and not shut the singer out.
You said its only getting worse, its only getting worse from here
Recognition of the situation worsening according to the listener.
But I said I will put you first, I will put you first my dear
Promising to prioritize the listener despite the worsening situation.
What happened to staying up late
Questioning why they've drifted from late-night conversations.
Talking on the phone
Recalling the past habit of talking on the phone late into the night.
Telling me secrets that nobody knows
Sharing intimate secrets between the singer and the listener.
And I don't wanna move on
Expressing reluctance to move on from the relationship.
No you held me for too long
Feeling emotionally attached for a significant period.
What happened to kissing my lips
Remembering the intimacy of kissing.
Holding me close
Recalling physical closeness and affection.
Telling me I'm different that you've ever known
Being made to feel unique and special by the listener.
And I don't wanna move on
Reluctance to move on due to the emotional bond.
No you held me for too long
Long-lasting emotional attachment to the listener.
You cant hide, from the truth that lies inside
The listener cannot avoid the truth within themselves.
You cant get by, from the things that haunt your mind
The listener cannot escape their haunting thoughts or experiences.
So you take it out on me, you wont call me baby
The listener takes out their issues on the singer and avoids affectionate terms.
You said it was too good to be true well I'm still here looking for you
The listener doubted the relationship's genuineness, but the singer still seeks them.
You said its only getting worse, its only getting worse from here
Reiterating the listener's belief in the situation worsening.
But I said I will put you first, I will put you first my dear
Reaffirming the commitment to prioritize the listener.
I wish that I could read, your mind your mind
Desire to understand the listener's thoughts or emotions.
I wish that I could see, your side your side
Wishing to comprehend the listener's perspective.
I wish that I could read, your mind your mind
Repetition of the desire to understand the listener's thoughts.
I wish that I could see, your side your side
Repeating the wish to see things from the listener's point of view.
What happened to staying up late
Reflecting on the change from late-night conversations.
Talking on the phone
Recalling past intimate and secretive discussions.
Telling me secrets that nobody knows
Reluctance to move on due to shared secrets and intimacy.
And I don't wanna move on
Expressing emotional attachment hindering the desire to move forward.
No you held me for too long
Feeling emotionally attached for an extended period.
What happened to kissing my lips
Remembering the intimacy of kissing.
Holding me close
Recalling physical closeness and affection.
Telling me I'm different that you've ever known
Being made to feel unique and special by the listener.
And I don't wanna move on
Reluctance to move on due to the emotional bond.
No you held me for too long
Long-lasting emotional attachment to the listener.
