Lyrics
On a night like tonight
Expressing a particular night's significance
I can't cancel the freeway
Unable to avoid or escape a certain path or situation
Mispredicted and now I'm on to these prescriptions
Making reference to taking medications based on a misprediction
And the stars came, you went with them
Someone departed when the stars appeared
And the lens changed and my fight fades
A change in perspective, and personal resilience waning
But you right here with me remains the same
Despite challenges, the presence of a significant other remains constant
Yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Running through my head like you on this borrowed time
Overthinking with the sense that time is limited
Seeing all of the signs cinching, but I've let apply
Noticing signs but choosing not to act on them
Made out fine, but something just don't seem so right
Despite apparent success, something feels wrong
I think I need some summer time
Expressing a desire for a carefree and enjoyable summer
I think I need the best advice
Seeking valuable advice during challenging times
I think I need a place to call
Longing for a place to belong
I just need you after all
Highlighting the importance of a specific person in one's life
And no there's nothing more to say
No more words to convey, caught in a storm of emotions
I'm caught up in your storm and the rain is pouring
Metaphorically caught in a tumultuous situation
Lightning flashes
The intensity of emotions represented by storm and lightning
Blinded by your beauty
Being captivated by someone's beauty
Take me to the shop off main
Suggesting a desire to spend time together in a specific location
Let me converse with you get to know your name
Expressing a wish to engage in meaningful conversation
For the evening, that's what I told you babe
Recalling a promise for the evening
Now we locked in this place this love it never seems to fade
Locked in love, enduring and unchanging
Yeah yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Running through my head like you on this borrowed time
Reiterating thoughts running through the mind in a limited time
Seeing all of the signs cinching, but I've let apply
Aware of signs but choosing not to take action
Made out fine but something just don't seem so right
A sense that everything is not as it should be despite outward success
I think I need some summer time
Desire for a carefree and enjoyable summer reiterated
I think I need the best advice
Seeking valuable advice during challenging times reiterated
I think I need a place to call
Longing for a place to belong reiterated
I just need you after all
Repetition emphasizing the importance of a specific person
