Same Night Sky
2AM Club Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you'd give me what I'm looking for
I hit the light switch, then hit the front door
I say farewell to the western front
I'm having second thoughts, I may have jumped the gun

We walked and we stopped in your stereo
I really wanna be the color in your video
It's my it's my shotgun wedding with

The big city and I'm working on my etiquette

'Cause everybody wants it
And everybody needs it
Everybody wants it
And everybody needs

Oh, you don't have to say goodbye
Nothing's gonna pass you by
Looking at the same night sky
We'll be there waiting for you getting high
Everything will be all right
Looking at the same night sky

I can't give in I've worked to hard for this
I let the stress build, I sit and ball my fists
This town gets cold I pull the wool down
I look up at the stars, they hit the wet ground
We walked and we stopped in your stereo
I really wanna be the color in your video
It's my it's my shotgun wedding with
The big city and I hope I don't get over it

'Cause everybody wants it
And everybody needs it
Everybody wants it
And everybody needs

Oh, you don't have to say goodbye
Nothing's gonna pass you by
Looking at the same night sky
We'll be there waiting for you getting high
Everything will be all right
Looking at the same night sky

They got me crying on my sleeve
That's where I keep my heart so it don't dry up
They say I'm living out my dreams well that's my luck
Was it my dream when my father went falling down
I only felt one thing that's how I know now
I miss the days and the folks that I shared them with
This song right here goes out to all that cared a bit
So many thought that I would never reach the plane I'm at
But y'all knew better then that

And when I'm lonely
You'll always be my only
And I'll be yours in time

Oh, you don't have to say goodbye
Nothing's gonna pass you by
Looking at the same night sky
We'll be there waiting for you getting high
Everything will be all right
Looking at the same night sky

Oh, you don't need to say goodbye

I wish you'd give me what I'm looking for
I want you to give me what I desire

I hit the light switch, then hit the front door
I'm leaving, switching off the lights

I say farewell to the western front
I'm saying goodbye to the past

I'm having second thoughts, I may have jumped the gun
I'm doubting my decision and may have acted too soon

We walked and we stopped in your stereo
We were listening to music together

I really wanna be the color in your video
I want to be a part of your life

It's my it's my shotgun wedding with the big city and I'm working on my etiquette
I'm trying to fit in and learn the ways of the city life

'Cause everybody wants it, And everybody needs it
Everyone desires and requires this thing

Oh, you don't have to say goodbye, Nothing's gonna pass you by
Don't worry, you won't miss out on anything

Looking at the same night sky, We'll be there waiting for you getting high
We'll be together under the same sky and enjoying ourselves

Everything will be all right, Looking at the same night sky
Everything will be fine, just as long as we're together

I can't give in, I've worked too hard for this
I won't give up as I've put in so much effort towards this

I let the stress build, I sit and ball my fists
I get anxious and tense, clenching my fists

This town gets cold I pull the wool down
The weather gets cold and I put on my warm clothes

I look up at the stars, they hit the wet ground
I look at the stars and they reflect on the wet ground

Was it my dream when my father went falling down, I only felt one thing that's how I know now
I only felt sadness when my father died, and that's what I realized

I miss the days and the folks that I shared them with
I miss the people and moments from my past

This song right here goes out to all that cared a bit
This song is dedicated to those who cared about me

So many thought that I would never reach the plane I'm at, But y'all knew better then that
Many didn't believe in me, but you had faith

And when I'm lonely, You'll always be my only, And I'll be yours in time
When I feel alone, I know you'll be there for me, and I'll be there for you in return

Oh, you don't need to say goodbye
You don't have to leave, we can stay together
