Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Settles on the world
Woah, you can feel the magic
Dreamin' of someone to hold tight
One more lonely girl
Woah, goes on automatic
Everywhere across the land
They prepare to make a stand
Lover to lover, woman to man (livin' for the)
Sidewalk hot summer nights
Radio 'bout to blow
Small talk under the lights
Feel the heat, wild and sweet
Hot summer nights
Sitting out upon the front steps
Bursting at the seams
Woah, driven by desire
City boy stares at the sunset
Dreaming desperate dreams
Woah, where there's smoke there's fire
And some believe that love is won
And some of them go like they're under the gun
In between what's already done
And the promise the feel in the evening to come (livin' for the)
Sidewalk hot summer nights
Radio 'bout to blow
Small talk under the lights
Feel the heat, wild and sweet
Hot summer nights
Oh, oh hot summer nights
Oh, oh hot summer nights
In the end two hearts will meet
And maybe they'll find whatever they seek
If they can, they'll learn how to keep
The faith that they found in the sound of the beat (out for those)
Sidewalk hot summer nights
Radio 'bout to blow
Small talk under the lights
Feel the heat, wild and sweet
Hot summer nights

Line by Line Meaning
In the time before the twilight
Before the onset of darkness
Settles on the world
As night falls
Woah, you can feel the magic
An atmosphere of enchantment
Dreamin' of someone to hold tight
Longing for human connection
One more lonely girl
One among many feeling isolated
Woah, goes on automatic
Automated behaviors kick in
Everywhere across the land
Widespread and universal
In front of their mirrors with combs in their hands
Preparing to present themselves to the world
They prepare to make a stand
Ready to assert themselves
Lover to lover, woman to man (livin' for the)
Seeking love and connection
Sidewalk hot summer nights
Warm evenings spent outside
Radio 'bout to blow
Excitement building
Small talk under the lights
Casual conversations in illuminated areas
Feel the heat, wild and sweet
Sensations of warmth, excitement, and pleasure
Sitting out upon the front steps
Sitting outside near the entrance to a building
Bursting at the seams
Full of energy and anticipation
Woah, driven by desire
Motivated by strong need or want
City boy stares at the sunset
A resident of an urban area fascinated by the setting sun
Dreaming desperate dreams
Longing for something unattainable
Woah, where there's smoke there's fire
Suspicion that rumors or indications point to a bigger problem
And some believe that love is won
Optimism that love can be attained
And some of them go like they're under the gun
The pressure to find love causing anxiety or panic
In between what's already done
Existing actions or outcomes
And the promise the feel in the evening to come (livin' for the)
Anticipation and hope for future experiences
Oh, oh hot summer nights
Expressive interjection denoting excitement
In the end two hearts will meet
A hopeful outcome of two people finding love
And maybe they'll find whatever they seek
Possibility that desires will be fulfilled
If they can, they'll learn how to keep
The challenge of maintaining love once it's found
The faith that they found in the sound of the beat (out for those)
The power of music and rhythm to inspire and unite people
