Making the Most of the Night
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me, we've been hanging around for the longest time
I know when you're down, know what you need to get you high
Top down, like the wind through your hair on a summer's night
Outside, all of your fears, leave them behind

Baby I'm speeding and red lights, I'll run
What I got you need it, and I'll run to your side
When your heart is bleeding, I'm coming to get you (to get you, to get you, ooh)

I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night

Eyes wide, like you've never seen the ocean never seen the tides
No hope, now you're seeing things that you'd lost sight of
Taking off, got your hands in the air and you're feeling alright
Gold vines, glistening on my skin for you

Baby I'm speeding and red lights, I'll run
What I got you need it, and I'll run to your side
When your heart is bleeding, I'm coming to get you

I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night

Baby take my hand now, don't you cry
I won't let you stay here, I won't let you hide
No more tears, don't waste another day
Go on and fight, don't lay down to die
Come on get up, you'll make it through okay
Come on get up, don't waste another day

I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I'll love you while
I'm making the most of the night
Ooh
I'm making the most of the night




Oh
I'm making the most of the night

And I'll run to your side when your heart is bleeding

I heard heavy metal guy from a podcast talking about how this album was complete pop music perfection in a way that most modern radio shite hasn't been in decades and man was he right. By the time I came up to this song I was sold on the album. When a guy who can appreciate good growls and heavy guitar riffs tells you there's this woman who has made an incredible pop album I tend to listen.

FeelingShred

curious to who said that... wait until you discover Devin Townsend "Supercrush" or "Grace", prepare the diapers

Edward Chen
