When the Night Falls
CHROMEO ft SOLANGE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

I'm searching for a good time
In a city where there's nobody else around
And I know it's been a little while
But your number is the only one I found

Now we've had our share of ups and downs
In the years I came through your town
But let's put it all to rest
And just have a night of one on one
When the conversation has begun
Put your head on my chest

There's something about you, girl
And it's rather strange
I wanna come back to you, girl
And make another flame

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

Well you probably think I'm a fast-talking romantic
With a highfalutin' ways
But it's all about the impression you made
On the first time I met you
That stayed with me for days
And now I want that feeling back
But I'm not sure where to get it
But you have the answer to that

And you say it's nothing but fun and games
But over the phone it's not the same
So let's try to cross paths

There's something about you, girl
And it's rather strange
I wanna come back to you, girl
And make another flame

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah




And just hope that she remembers
Hope that she remembers you still

Line by Line Meaning

When the night falls, oh yeah
As darkness descends, you can sense it in your soul


You can tell by the way that you feel
You know it in your bones, it's palpable


Make the right calls, oh yeah
Make the necessary moves to get the night you want


And just hope that she remembers you still
Hold out hope that she hasn't forgotten you


I'm searching for a good time
Seeking some pleasure and enjoyment


In a city where there's nobody else around
In a town where you're alone, wanting companionship


And I know it's been a little while
It's been a bit since we talked or saw each other


But your number is the only one I found
You're the only one who sticks in my mind


Now we've had our share of ups and downs
We've been through good times and bad


In the years I came through your town
As I passed by your city over time


But let's put it all to rest
Let's leave it behind us and start anew


And just have a night of one on one
Spend some time together, one-on-one


When the conversation has begun
Once we've started talking


Put your head on my chest
Lean against me, feel my heartbeat


There's something about you, girl
You have a certain quality that draws me in


And it's rather strange
It's unusual, but I'm drawn to you nonetheless


I wanna come back to you, girl
I want to rekindle what we once had


And make another flame
Create a new spark between us


Well you probably think I'm a fast-talking romantic
You might see me as someone who's too smooth or charming


With a highfalutin' ways
With a pretentious or extravagant manner


But it's all about the impression you made
It's your impact on me that's important


On the first time I met you
When we first crossed paths


That stayed with me for days
It lingered in my thoughts for a while after


And now I want that feeling back
I want to experience that sensation again


But I'm not sure where to get it
I'm unsure of how to recapture that moment


But you have the answer to that
You hold the key to rekindling our connection


And you say it's nothing but fun and games
You take it lightly, as if it's trivial


But over the phone it's not the same
It's difficult to convey true feeling over a call


So let's try to cross paths
Let's meet up in person and see where it goes


Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Vocalization, no clear meaning


Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah
Vocalization, no clear meaning


And just hope that she remembers
Wishing that you're still on her mind


Hope that she remembers you still
Wishing she hasn't forgotten about you

I think it's kind of amazing how they have three minutes and twenty seconds of insanity that then turns into a coherent story at the end, with a really touching message and a happy ending. Props not only to Chromeo, but to whoever came up with the idea. Well done!

@EdBoonSucks

Yeah, and the 'touching message' was; "If you get multiple girls pregnant, have your wingman raise them."

@IlyaSpektor

Credit goes to Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert - they direct a lot of insanely creative videos, like Turn Down For What by DJ Snake

@jameswest360

They just won best directors, best movie, screenplay, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress for their movie

@PandaBoyrwarrr

If your kids ever tell you how babies are made, tell them it's all because of Chromeo

@charlesbrooks772

This music takes me back to the 80's. It even sounds like they are using the drum machines and synthesizers that were used on a lot of the dance tracks in the 80's. A good mixture of funk, r&b, and pop. This is some good stuff!!

@youngangel3926

Yup

@Nico93106

They're using them i guess. Watch the video they made for future music magazine, you'll have a glimpse of their studio, it is fill with vintage gears.

@louisjames1062

They use only 80s gear, watch their studio videos, even the pc is pentium 2. It's all made by them on 80s gear. Band are hugely underrated

@ototurmanidze5578

Charles Brooks firstly when I saw a short clip and photos in google I thought it was old or retro movie
