Lyrics
Whoa
Expression of surprise or emphasis
I know
Acknowledgment of knowledge or awareness
I know that there have been nights just as warm
Recognition of previous warm nights
And I've seen them
Observation of past experiences
Summers, they come and they go
Reflection on the transient nature of summers
With the moon in the same place
Noting the constancy of the moon's position
Like not much has changed
Sense of continuity, little change
I don't know much but I know that
Humility about limited knowledge
Whoa, whoa
Repetition for emphasis or dramatic effect
There's never been tonight before
Acknowledging the uniqueness of the present moment
And no one
Recognition of someone special or rare
Like you ever liked me before
Highlighting the singularity of being liked by that person
I feel you
Acknowledging emotional connection
But now I'm feeling so much more
Expressing an intensified emotional state
'Cause I've seen a lotta nights
Reference to past experiences or knowledge
That's how I know for sure
Confirmation based on past experiences
There's never been tonight before
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the current night
Do you know (do you know)
Seeking information or understanding
How many times that I've knocked at your door? (Oh, I've been knocking)
Emphasizing persistence or repeated attempts
But this time
Confidence in the present situation
You're not gonna leave me so low (leave me so low)
Assurance of not being left alone
'Cause even though the moon's in the same place (same place)
Contrasting the constant moon with significant changes
Everything has changed (has changed)
Acknowledging a transformation or shift
I can't say how, but I know that
Assertion of knowledge without specifying
Whoa, whoa
Repetition for emphasis or dramatic effect
There's never been tonight before
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the present moment
And no one
Recognition of someone special or rare
Like you ever liked me before
Highlighting the singularity of being liked by that person
I feel you
Acknowledging emotional connection
But now I'm feeling so much more
Expressing an intensified emotional state
'Cause I've seen a lotta nights
Reference to past experiences or knowledge
That's how I know for sure
Confirmation based on past experiences
There's never been tonight before
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the current night
Whoa, whoa
Repetition for emphasis or dramatic effect
There's never been tonight before
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the present moment
And no one
Recognition of someone special or rare
Like you ever liked me before
Highlighting the singularity of being liked by that person
I feel you
Acknowledging emotional connection
But now I'm feeling so much more
Expressing an intensified emotional state
'Cause I've seen a lotta nights
Reference to past experiences or knowledge
That's how I know for sure
Confirmation based on past experiences
There's never been tonight before
Reiteration of the uniqueness of the current night
