Feels Like Tonight
Daughtry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you got me
Thinking it'll be all right you, you told me
"Come and take a look inside."
You believed me, in every single lie
But I, I failed you this time

And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight, tonight

I was waiting
For the day you'd come around
I was chasing
But nothing was all I found
From the moment you came into my life
You showed me what's right

And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight

I never felt like this before
Just when I leave, I'm back for more
Nothing else here seems to matter
In these ever-changing days
You're the one thing that remains
I could stay like this forever

And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight, tonight, tonight

Cause there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight, tonight

I Provide Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You, you got me
Thinking it'll be alright
You, you told me
"Come and take a look inside"
You believe me
In every single lie
But I, I failed you this time

[Chorus]
And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight
Tonight

[Verse 2]
I was waiting
For the day you'd come around
I was chasing
But nothing was all I found
From the moment you came into my life
You showed me what's right

[Chorus]
And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight

[Bridge]
I never felt like this before
Just when I leave, I'm back for more
Nothing else here seems to matter
In these ever-changing days
You're the one thing that remains
I could stay like this forever

[Chorus]
And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight

[Outro]
Tonight (feels like tonight)
Tonight (feels like tonight)
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight
Tonight

There is something about Daughtry that holds a special place in my heart. Their music has so much sentimental value to me, and they’re hideously underrated. This is real music, not what’s out nowadays. It’s simple, but it means something. It has soul. Something that music that you hear on the radio today doesn’t have. There are certain things you can’t put a price on.

Diane Straker

Same here ...along with the fray and nickelback

Erwin Flores

i agree πŸ˜πŸ‘

Ross Stephens

Absolutely

Rick Tricksfixx

Yup

Your comment is very valid, but not when you put it in a song composed by Max Martin: Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and here Daughtry.
