Let's Fall in Love for the Night
FINNEAS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's fall in love for the night
And forget in the mornin'
Play me a song that you like
You can bet I'll know every line
I'm the boy that your boy hoped that you would avoid
Don't waste your eyes on jealous guys, fuck that noise
I know better than to call you mine
You need a pick-me-up?
I'll be there in twenty-five
I like to push my luck
So take my hand, let's take a drive
I've been livin' in the future
Hopin' I might see you sooner
I want you ridin' shotgun
I knew when I got one right

Let's fall in love for the night
And forget in the mornin'
Play me a song that you like
You can bet I'll know every line
I'm the boy that your boy hoped that you would avoid
Don't waste your eyes on jealous guys, fuck that noise
I know better than to call you mine

I love it when you talk that nerdy shit
We're in our twenties talking thirties shit
We're making money but we're savin' it
'Cause talkin' shit is cheap and we talk a lot of it
You won't stay with me, I know
But you can have your way with me 'til you go
And if all your kisses turn into bruises, I'm a warnin'

Let's fall in love for the night
And forget in the mornin'
Play me a song that you like
You can bet I'll know every line
'Cause I'm the boy that your boy hoped that you would avoid
Don't waste your eyes on jealous guys, fuck that noise
I know better




I know better
I know better than to ever call you mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of FINNEAS's Let's Fall in Love for the Night are about two people falling in love for just one night, knowing that it will end in the morning. The first few lines of the song set up the premise of the story: "Let's fall in love for the night and forget in the morning." The singer is asking the object of his affection to spend the night with him, and then leave in the morning without any strings attached. The next line, "play me a song that you like, you can bet I'll know every line," is a way for him to show that he is completely smitten with her, and that he is willing to learn everything about her in just one night.


He then acknowledges that he may not be the best choice for her, saying, "I'm the boy that your boy hoped that you would avoid." However, he tells her not to waste her time on jealous guys, as he knows he is the better choice. He wants to take her for a drive and be with her, living in the moment. He wants to enjoy every second they have together, because he knows it will be brief.


The final lines of the song contain a warning; if all her kisses turn into bruises, he is warning her of what she may be getting into. He knows that it won't last, but he wants to make the most of the time he has with her. It is a bittersweet song about falling in love in the moment, and knowing that the next day will bring an end to it.

I feel like Finneas is one of those celebrities you'd love to be friends with. Not 'cause of their fame, but because they just seem like they'd be such a nice person.

@JJJameson.

His interviews are cool, he seems to be nice

@bohlalenchabeleng1370
