Up All Night
Beck Lyrics

When you get the rhythm and words all make you cold
When you fully understand and grasp the beat and lyrics, they can leave you feeling numb and disconnected.

When they break it down and this world is all you know
When they break down the music and you become completely immersed in it, the rest of the world fades away and all that remains is the music.

Hands up, you're working it 'round
With your hands raised up in the air, you're dancing and moving to the rhythm.

Now get yourself together
Now gather your thoughts and emotions, and compose yourself.

When you count the dominos fall, it's time to go
When you witness a series of negative events unfolding, it's a sign that it's time to move on and leave that situation.

Now I'm feeling so far away
Now I feel emotionally distant and disconnected.

I see the colors and all the kids going home
I can visualize the vibrant colors and observe the children returning to their homes.

Night is crawling into the day
The darkness of the night is gradually creeping into the daylight.

I hear my voice ringing
I can hear my own voice echoing and reverberating.

The summertime's singing
The spirit of summer is alive and singing joyfully.

Just wanna stay up all night with you
I simply desire to spend the entire night awake and in your company.

There's nothing that I wouldn't rather do
There is no other activity I would prefer to do.

I'll keep it moving
I will continue moving forward.

Don't wait for nothing now
There is no reason to wait for anything at this moment.

1, 2, what you doing?
1, 2, what are you currently engaged in or occupied with?

I've been jumping through some hoops
I have been navigating through various challenges and obstacles.

Wanna get my body loose
I desire to loosen up my body and let go of any tension or stiffness.

Wanna tell you, tell you what to do
I want to express and communicate instructions or suggestions to you.

I've been running out of breath like an animal struggling
I have been expending all my energy and getting exhausted, similar to a struggling animal.

Looking for a diamond
Searching for something precious and valuable, like a diamond.

I'm trying, I'm fighting
I am making efforts and fighting to overcome challenges.

Back into the rhythm now
Returning and aligning myself with the beat and flow of the music once again.

Living up in the air
Existing in a state where everything feels uncertain and unpredictable.

If you don't really care
If you lack genuine concern or interest.

Living don't get you there
Merely existing and going through the motions won't lead you to your desired destination.

If you got the time to take it up there
If you have the opportunity and willingness to invest your time and effort, you can reach higher levels.

Living out on a prayer
Existing by relying solely on hope or luck, without a solid plan.

Up all night with you, with you
Spending the entire night awake in your presence, and emphasizing your importance.
