In The Night
The Weeknd Lyrics

All alone she was living
She was completely by herself, with no one else around her.

In a world without an end or beginning
She was living in a world where there was no beginning or end, it just continued on and on.

Baby girl was living life for the feeling
She was living just for the feeling of being alive.

But I don't mind, I don't mind, oh
The singer doesn't mind that she's living this way, he's accepting of it.

And all the wrongs she committed
She had done things that were considered bad or wrong.

She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was emotionally numb and relied heavily on someone else.

She was young and all she had was the city
She was young and the only thing that she had was the city she lived in.

And I know (know) that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
The singer knows that she could do anything, and it's exciting to think about.

But when (when) you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone, oh
When you wake up, she's always gone, disappeared without a trace.

In the night she hears him calling
At night, she hears him calling out her name.

In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
At night, she dances to try and lessen the pain she's feeling.

She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
She'll never leave, even if you don't understand why.

In the night when she comes crawling
At night, she crawls toward something or someone.

Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She's crying and dollar bills are falling down her face, maybe from dancing or trying to escape something.

He sang a song when he did it
He sang a song while doing something.

He was cold and he was so unforgiving
He was distant and wouldn't forgive her easily.

Now she dances to the song on the minute
She dances to the song every single minute.

Yeah, all the time (all the time), all the time (all the time), oh
She does it all the time, every moment of the day.

It make her weak when she hear it
The song makes her feel weak and vulnerable.

And it got her on her knees like religion
The song makes her fall to her knees, as if it has some power like religion.

She was young and she was forced to be a woman
She was young but had to act like an adult woman, maybe because of something that happened to her.

I don't think you understand (woah, woah)
The singer doesn't think that the person listening understands what's going on.

No, no, no (I don't think, I don't think)
The singer repeats that he doesn't think the listener understands.

In the night when she comes crawling (hoo)
At night, she crawls toward something or someone for help or comfort.

She'll never walk away
She'll never leave, even if you don't understand why.

I don't think you understand
The singer is repeating that he doesn't think the listener understands what's happening to the girl at night.
