Not Going Home
DVBBS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever to your fire
Tell me where you're going
Tell me where you're out tonight
I go all laserlights when you're by my side
Everything I do now
Just tell me if you're out tonight
On my own, on my own
As long as you're looking
I don't feel alone
This music just been
Goin' on, goin' on
But as long as you're looking
I'm not going home
Oh I've been dancin'
On my own, on my own
As long as you're looking
I don't feel alone
This music just been
Goin' on, goin' on
But as long as you're looking
I'm not going home
I'm not going home
I'm not going home
We're still up so late out
Deep down in the night
Even when the light's down
Tell me if you're looking out
I go all laserlights if you come around
Everything I do now
Just tell me if you're out tonight
(Tonight)
You know I'm up in the air, lonely firefly
I know oh, you're going somewhere
Don't, don't leave me there
Oh I've been dancin'
On my own, on my own
As long as you're looking
I don't feel alone
This music just been
Goin' on, goin' on
But as long as you're looking
I'm not going home
Oh I've been dancin'
On my own, on my own
As long as you're looking
I don't feel alone
This music just been
Goin' on, goin' on
But as long as you're looking
I'm not going home
I'm not going home
I'm not going home
Oh I've been dancin'
On my own, on my own
As long as you're looking
I don't feel alone
(I'm not going home)
This music just been
Goin' on, goin' on
But as long as you're looking
I'm not going home

Ain't I lost to your eyes?
Do you even notice me anymore?
Ever to your fire
Am I still the one that sets your heart ablaze?
Tell me where you're going
Let me know where you're headed
Tell me where you're out tonight
Can you tell me if you're going out tonight?
I go all laserlights when you're by my side
I feel electrified and alive when I'm with you
Everything I do now
My every activity revolves around you
Just tell me if you're out tonight
Just keep me informed if you're going out tonight
Oh I've been dancin'
I've been dancing all by myself
On my own, on my own
Alone, without someone to dance with
As long as you're looking
As long as you're watching me
I don't feel alone
I don't feel lonely
This music just been
This music has just been
Goin' on, goin' on
Playing nonstop
But as long as you're looking
But as long as you're still watching
I'm not going home
I won't leave just yet
We're still up so late out
We're still out late at night
Deep down in the night
In the heart of the night
Even when the light's down
Even in the dark
Tell me if you're looking out
Make sure to keep an eye out
You know I'm up in the air, lonely firefly
I'm feeling lost, like a solitary firefly in flight
I know oh, you're going somewhere
I feel that you're about to leave
Don't, don't leave me there
Don't leave me alone and abandoned
(Tonight)
