Through The Night
After Midnight Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there something else out there
Hidden in a strand of hair
So far beneath the surface, I need I need to get there.
I paint a picture of my self ten years from now
Sitting in the same old chair. It’s all too familiar.
I need to climb out this tree
My knees begin to bleed
I'm afraid of heights but your purple eyes
Make it easy.

I just wanna touch your body
I just wanna make you crazy.

When I'm with you I know I'm safe
From the ground below that shakes
Will you kiss me and hold me tight
So I'll make it through the night.

My brains about to rust
From lack of mental lust
Your picture turns to gray
I'll sleep until the new day
I'm afraid of walking there on top of broken stairs
Is there an easier way maybe she'll meet me half way
I can't get my thought to leave sometimes I need to breath
I can't wait another minute I need I need to feel her.

I just wanna touch your body
I just wanna make you crazy.

When I'm with you I know I'm safe
From the ground below that shakes
Will you kiss me and hold me tight
So I'll make it through the night.

I need your body of ocean to guide me.
I know I'm not perfect I need some work
Above.
Above...

When I'm with you I know I'm safe
From the ground below that shakes




Will you kiss me and hold me tight
So I'll make it through the night.

The next stanza describes the singer's mental exhaustion and the lack of passion in his life. His love interest's picture has turned gray in his mind, and he needs to sleep to escape his thoughts.
