Don't You Go
All Time Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the young ones, growing old
All the green lights, long nights
Drinking 'til I made out with you
Just sit back, enjoy the show
It's the weekend, no place to go
You're the cherry, I'm a cigarette
Don't shut me down now
Just hear me out now
Don't you go and carry on with your life
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you
Give me one more night with you
So take a breath now, you don't have to go
It was a fast night, we can take it slow
There were fist fights, red lights
Running 'til I crashed into you
I got my ass kicked, but you held the ice
I was a train wreck, but you took the ride
Can we stay here, right here?
Nothing else that I wanna do
Don't shut me down now
Just hear me out now
Don't you go and carry on with your life
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you
You say I've pushed my luck
But I can't get enough
If it was just a one time thing
Why are you still here with me?
Don't want a single thing to change
We can mess around for two more days
If it was just a one time thing
Why are you still here with me?
(I don't want you to leave)
Don't you go and carry on with your life
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you
You say I've pushed my luck
But I can't get enough
If it was just a one time thing
Why are you still here with me?
Don't want a single thing to change
We can mess around for two more days
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you
The song "Don't You Go" by All Time Low is about a young couple who had a one-night stand, but the singer of the song wants more. The song starts with the singer reminiscing about the wild night they had drinking and making out until dawn. He asks her not to move on with her life just yet and insists that he wants to spend one more night with her, even though they both know it may not lead to anything more permanent. He tries to convince her that it was not just a one-time thing and that he wants to stay with her a little longer, because there is nothing else that he wants to do. He insists that they can take it slow and explores the idea of spending two more days messing around.
The singer in the song knows that he may have pushed his luck during the previous night, but he still can't get enough of her. He wants to keep things the way they are and doesn't want anything to change. He is afraid that she will leave and he will have missed his chance to have another one-night stand with her. The song is about wanting to hold onto a moment in time and not letting go of the chemistry that the two people shared.

Settle back now and raise a toast
Let's relax and celebrate
To the young ones, growing old
Cheers to getting older
All the green lights, long nights
We had a good time and partied all night
Drinking 'til I made out with you
I got drunk and hooked up with you
Just sit back, enjoy the show
Let's relax and have fun
It's the weekend, no place to go
We have nothing else to do
You're the cherry, I'm a cigarette
We're a good match and we both like to party
Chasing after midnight with you
We enjoy staying up late and having fun together
Don't shut me down now
Please listen to what I have to say
Just hear me out now
Give me a chance to explain myself
Don't you go and carry on with your life
Don't leave me yet
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Our hook-up wasn't just a one-time thing because I still want to be with you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
Please don't say goodbye
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
I want to hook up with you again
So give me one more night with you
Please give me another chance
So take a breath now, you don't have to go
Relax and don't feel like you have to leave
It was a fast night, we can take it slow
Let's take things slow and enjoy each other's company
There were fist fights, red lights
We partied hard and got into trouble
Running 'til I crashed into you
We met while we were both running around and having fun
I got my ass kicked, but you held the ice
I got hurt, but you were there to take care of me
I was a train wreck, but you took the ride
I was a mess, but you stuck by my side
Can we stay here, right here?
Can we just stay together and enjoy this moment?
Nothing else that I wanna do
I just want to be with you and enjoy your company
You say I've pushed my luck
You think I'm taking advantage of the situation
But I can't get enough
I can't help myself
If it was just a one time thing
If our hook-up was only supposed to happen once
Why are you still here with me?
Why are we still together if it was only a one-time thing?
Don't want a single thing to change
I don't want anything to ruin what we have
We can mess around for two more days
Let's keep the fun going for a little longer
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
I want to hook up with you one more time
So give me one more night with you
Please give me another chance to be with you

@codfanboy2002
Does anybody else think the beginning(or entire song) reminds you of one of those older alternative songs.
@amyhurst9749
I don't know why but I thought it sounded like a bowling for soup song, just me?:)
@vinipaines
meowitsamy :3 yea, even blink 182 too, but pop punk is it
@violetramirez6062
AllTimeAoT blink and good charlotte with a modern twist
@josephfabian8026
it has that early 2000s nostalgic vibe! Like the Party Scene
@johnnacats
AllTimeAoT Yeah the beginning reminded me of The Anthem by Good Charlotte
@hiizuki
I really don't get why people are always saying 'All Time Low songs are always the same'
@alexandravonmonroe3881
Seriously just in this album almost every song sounds different
@mrblackskeleton
DutchClassics i now what you mean all of their songs are something new and unique from all the others.

The start of Walls (Nothing Personal) is almost the same as the start of Old Scars
