UP ALL NIGHT
Davina Leone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby you show up when I turn out the light
It's a game when I'm lying in bed
Like a hide and seek yeah you're playing up in my head
The thought of you and I can hardly breathe
(Chorus)
I'm tossing turning in my sleep
You keep me up I'm up all night
You stole my mind I'm so obsessed
My heart's a wreck I'm one hot mess
You keep my up I'm up all night
Why can't I turn out the light
When I dream it's such a beautiful view
You're like a drug to me baby I'm getting high off of you
You're the one thing in my heart I can't let go
(Chorus)
I'm tossing turning in my sleep
You've got me hooked I'm in so deep
You keep me up I'm up all night
You stole my mind I'm so obsessed
My heart's a wreck I'm one hot mess
You keep my up I'm up all night
Why can't I turn out the light
Yeah I really get it
My heart is taking me for a ride
I guess I don't regret it
It's feeling like a party inside
(Chorus)
I'm tossing turning in my sleep
You've got me hooked I'm in so deep
You keep me up I'm up all night
You stole my mind I'm so obsessed
My heart's a wreck I'm one hot mess
You keep my up I'm up all night
Why can't I turn out the light
(4x)
Up, all night all night
(3x)
Woh oh oh oh oh, woh oh oh
I'm up all night
Why can't I turn out the light
The lyrics of Davina Leone's song "Up All Night" depict a restless night of tossing and turning in bed, unable to shut off thoughts of a persistent love interest. The opening lines: "It's the same, every night, Baby you show up when I turn out the light" suggest a pattern of the love interest appearing in the singer's mind every night. The line "It's a game when I'm lying in bed, Like a hide and seek yeah you're playing up in my head" implies that the singer's mind is being toyed with by thoughts of this person. The lyrics also hint at the obsessive nature of the singer's thoughts and feelings: "You've got me hooked, I'm in so deep, You stole my mind, I'm so obsessed, My heart's a wreck, I'm one hot mess."
The chorus repeats the central theme of the song and emphasizes the sleeplessness and obsession: "I'm tossing turning in my sleep, You keep me up I'm up all night, You stole my mind I'm so obsessed, My heart's a wreck I'm one hot mess, Why can't I turn out the light." In the second verse, the singer portrays the lover as an addiction that creates a sense of euphoria and beauty in their dreams: "When I dream it's such a beautiful view, You're like a drug to me baby I'm getting high off of you, You're the one thing in my heart I can't let go." The bridge of the song acknowledges and accepts the singer's feelings as they compare it to a "party inside."
Overall, "Up All Night" is a vivid portrayal of the restlessness and obsession that can come with infatuation, and the chorus hook of "Up all night, why can't I turn out the light" is likely to stay in the listener's head.
