All Night Parking
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want to spend all my time with you (feels so good)
I'm so hard to impress
Don't leave me on this stretch alone
When I'm out at a party
I'm just excited to get home
And dream about you
All night long
I don't know how you got through to me (I'm so cold)
It's all happening so easily (like, "Oh my God")
It's so hard to digest
Usually, I'm best alone
But every time that you text
I want to get on the next flight home
And dream next to you
All night long
Maybe it's the way you remind me of (where I come from)
Or how you make me feel beautiful (and then some)
The sight of you is dramatic
One glimpse and I panic inside
I get lost in our hours
'Cause you possess powers I can't fight
That's why I dream about you
All night long
All night long
All night
The lyrics to Adele & Erroll Garner’s song All Night Parking Interlude talk about the singer’s desire to spend time with their love interest. The singer acknowledges that they both have other things to do but they would rather spend all their time with this person. They are usually hard to impress but this person has made it easy for them to feel and fall in love. They dream about this person all night long and get excited to get home from parties just to dream about them. Every time they receive a text from this person, they want to rush back home to be with them. The singer also talks about how this person reminds them of where they come from and makes them feel beautiful. The mere sight of this person makes the singer panic and they get lost in time when they are together. They cannot fight the power this person has over them, hence they dream about them all night long.
The lyrics are very relatable to anyone who has found love and cannot get enough of it. The lyrics evoke feelings of love, excitement, and desire. The lyrics paint a picture of someone so consumed by their love interest that they only want to be in their presence. The lyrics also show how love can be so effortless and how it can bring out the best in us. This song is a testament to the power that love can have over us and how it can consume us.

I know you’ve got things to do (I do too)
I just want to spend all my time with you (feels so good)
I’m so hard to impress
Don’t leave me on this stretch alone
When I’m out at a party
I’m just excited to get home
And dream about you
All night long
I don’t know how you got through to me (I’m so cold)
It’s all happening so easily (like oh my god)
It’s so hard to digest
Usually I’m best alone
But every time that you text
I want to get on the next flight home
And dream next to you
All night long
Maybe it’s the way you remind me of (where I come from)
Or how you make me feel beautiful (and then some)
The sight of you is dramatic
One glimpse and I panic inside
I get lost in our hours
Cause you possess powers I can’t fight
That’s why I dream about you
All night long
@fernandaramosoficial
I love the jazzy, old time feel of this song.
@drambo84
Me too!! What a great sound!!
@willpazmino6744
Same, I love the fact this Album is more soul and jazzy than pop. Even if I love all of them.
@robinskull
Adele suck, my music is better
@Soulbishop
go check out good times bad times by eddie brickel. Adele channels her sonic vibrations so well i would not be surprised if that was a reincarnation.
@clairsentientrealm7203
Checkout Joey pecoraro, that’s where she took this beat.
@DoggoDad
If Adele wants to drop a 15 minute version where Erroll continues to play and Adele just hums along now and then I would gladly accept.
@pisceslovefaith
Lol
@rodman7224
Maybe not 15mins but this song is way too short.
@JonArcher1113
YES! I am 100% in favor of that brilliant idea!
