Up All Night
Alex Clare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was what I was waitin' for
Oh my days what have I done,
She saw me sneaking out the door
What have I been waiting for,
Been wasting all my time
Watchin' my youth slip away
Surely is a crime
And no, she don't know what we do in our spare time
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
Sun is up while I'm walkin' home,
But my heads up in the clouds
Trying to get my self to bed
But I really don't know how,
And no, she don't know what I do in my spare time
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
The song “Up All Night” by Alex Clare highlights the feeling of living in the moment and going with the flow, without knowing where it might lead. The opening lines talk about waking up in someone else's bed, which is what the individual had been waiting for. This suggests a desire for living life without any commitments or responsibilities, but eventually, the singer realizes that he has been wasting his youth, which he considers a crime. This line indicates that he is aware that he can’t keep living this way forever.
Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of secrecy and the singer's desire to keep things hidden. He mentions that “she” doesn’t know what he does in his spare time, which adds another layer to the mystery. The song also touches on the feeling of being lost and not knowing where you are heading. The singer repeats that he does not know where they will end up in the morning, implying that living life spontaneously might be exciting, but it can also be daunting.
Overall, the song captures the essence of scintillating but reckless youth and serves as a reminder that life is precious, and it is essential to live it with purpose and passion.
Line by Line Meaning
Wakin' up in someone else's bed,
Finding oneself waking up in someone else's bed
Was what I was waitin' for
This is what the singer wanted to experience
Oh my days what have I done,
He regrets what he did
She saw me sneaking out the door
The woman saw the singer leaving
What have I been waiting for,
He wonders what he was really waiting for
Been wasting all my time
He realizes he's been wasting his time
Watchin' my youth slip away
The singer is seeing his youth slip away and he's not doing anything about it
Surely is a crime
He feels guilty for wasting his time and not enjoying his youth
And no, she don't know what we do in our spare time
The woman doesn't know what they do in their free time
No she don't know that we've been up all night
The woman is unaware that they stayed up all night
We go on and on and on and on and on
They keep going, without stopping
Never knowing where, never knowing where
They don't know where they're going
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
They will eventually end up in the morning
Sun is up while I'm walkin' home,
The sun is up while the singer is walking back home
But my heads up in the clouds
The singer's mind is elsewhere
Trying to get my self to bed
He's attempting to go to bed
But I really don't know how,
He's struggling to sleep
When I get myself home to my bedroom,
Once he finally arrives home
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
He plans to sleep all day until sunset
