The Nights
Avicii feat. Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'95 or '96? I really can't remember which
Pack of fags, no bags, man, I like to travel lightly
Who knows what tonight's tomorrow will bring?
Will I fall into a quiet room sayin', "Hold me now?"
And even on the darkest night of the coldest year
Hold my hand 'til the last day of the year
It's not Christmas night every night, so come on, bring your sex alive
Made a veil, made a sin, I want my sex and drugs again
I call you up to get a fix at North West 6
Mini cab, two patsies, I'm dodging paparazzi
I bet they wish they could see me now
As we fall into a quiet room sayin', "Hold me now?"
And even on the darkest night of the coldest year
It's not Christmas night every night, so come on, bring your sex alive
Hold my hand 'til the last day of the year
It's not Christmas night every night, so come on, bring your sex alive
And even on the darkest night
Now look at us, we're all grown up
No one to tell us when to stop
And you know we couldn't anyway
Yes, we'll have our way on Christmas day
And even on the darkest night of the coldest year
It's not Christmas night every night, so come on, bring your sex alive
Hold my hand 'til the last day of the year
It's not Christmas night every night, so come on, bring your sex alive
And even on the darkest night
(Ooh, ooh)
Walk me out of here (ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
I'll walk you out of here (ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
I'll walk you out of here (ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
The lyrics to Avicii feat. Robbie Williams's song The Nights describe living life to the fullest and not waiting for special occasions like Christmas to do so. The song starts with the singer leaving his job and traveling out of London with nothing but a pack of cigarettes. The lyrics delve into his past, possibly the year ‘95 or ‘96, and his desire for sex and drugs. As the song goes on, the singer talks about meeting up with someone for a 'fix', potentially a drug deal, and avoiding the paparazzi. The chorus repeats the sentiment that every night is a night to explore and have fun, not just Christmas. The song ends with the singer and another person walking out, possibly to continue their adventures.
The underlying message of The Nights is to live every day like it’s your last and not wait for special occasions. The lyrics suggest that life is full of adventures and experiences, and we should take advantage of them while we can, rather than waiting for them to come to us. There are references to drugs and sex, which may not be appealing to everyone, but they portray the idea of living life to the fullest and not holding back, regardless of potential consequences. The chorus is upbeat and catchy, reiterating the message that every night is an opportunity to make memories.

The days
(Intro music)
Under the tree
Where the grass
Don’t grow
(Music)
We made a promise
To never get old
(Music)
You had a chance
And you took it on me
(Music)
And I made a promise
That I couldn’t keep.
(Music)
Heartache, heartbreak
All over town
But something flipped
Like a switch
When you came around
And I’m in pieces
Pick me up
And put me together,
Ooooohh
These are the days
We’ve been waiting for
On days like these
Who could ask for more
Keep them coming, cause we’re not done yet
These are the days
That we won’t regret
These are the days
We won’t forget
These are the days
We’ve been waiting for
Rattle the cage
And slam that door
And the world
Is calling us
But not just yet
These are the days
That we won’t regret
These are the days
we won’t forget
(Music)
Out on the midnight
The wild ones howl
(Music)
Last of the lost boys
Have thrown in there towel
(Music)
We used to believe
We were stats aligned
(Music)
You mad a wish And I fell out of
Time flew
Cut through
All over town
You made me bleed
When I look up and
You’re not around
But I’m in pieces
Pick me up
And put me together
Ooooohh
These are the days
We’ve been waiting for
Neither of us
Knows what’s in store
You just roll
Your window down and
Place your bets
These are the days
We won’t forget
These are the days
Will never forget and
These are the daysss
And these are the daysss
@keyligonzalez8682
Under the tree where the grass don't grow
We made a promise to never get old
You had a chance and you took it on me
And I made a promise that I couldn't keep
Heartache, heart break, all over town
But something flipped like a switch
When you came around
And I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together
These are the days we've been waiting for
On days like these who could ask for more?
Leave them coming, 'cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget
These are the days we've been waiting for
Rattle the cage and slam that door
And the world is calling us, but not just yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget
Out on the midnight the wild ones howl
The last of the lost boys have thrown in the towel
We used to believe we were stars aligned
You made a wish and I fell out of
Time flew, cut through, all over town
You made me bleed when I look up
And you're not around
But I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together, oh
These are the days we've been waiting for
On days like these who could ask for more?
Leave them coming, 'cause we're not done yet
