Just Tonight
.the pretty reckless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
And I can't think from all the pills, hey
Start the car and take me home

Here we are
And your too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home
Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
Its telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then its all because of you
Just tonight

Here I am
And I can't seem to see straight
But I'm too numb to feel right now

And here I am
Watching the clock that's ticking away my time
I'm too numb to feel right now

Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
Its telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then its all because of you
Just tonight

Do you understand who I am do you wanna know
Can you really see through me
Now I have got to go

Just tonight
I won't leave
And ill lie and you'll believe
Just tonight
I will see that its all because of me

Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
Its telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then its all because of you
Just tonight
Its all because of you
Just tonight
Its all because of you
Just tonight




Its all because of you
Just tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Tonight" by The Pretty Reckless is a powerful track that deals with the pain of addiction and the damage that it can cause to a relationship. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer admitting that she can't think straight due to the pills that she has taken. Throughout the song, we hear the singer pleading with her partner to take her home, as she is unable to cope with the situation any longer. She is clearly in pain and struggling, but her partner is too drunk to hear a word she says.


The chorus of the song is particularly impactful, with the singer promising to stay for just tonight and "throw it all away". The repeated line "It's all because of you" suggests that she lays the blame for her situation at the feet of her partner, who has caused her pain and driven her to addiction. The song ends on a note of bitterness, with the singer claiming that she will lie to her partner but that he will believe her. There is a sense of anger and frustration throughout the track, which is conveyed by the raw and emotive vocal performance.
