Late At Night
Fort Vine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staying up all night just to get it done
We can catch our breath in a sprinted run
Shaking hands at dawn with the morning sun
We're holding out, we're holding out, we're holding out strong

It's late at night
Do you wanna stay up
And play it right
You and I could make it up
It's late at night
Do you wanna stay up
And play it right
You and I could make it up

I would never doubt your love
But tell me, is mine enough
To get you through the night

I would never doubt your love
But baby tell me, is mine enough
To get you through ...

Feeling all your waves like a radio
Filling up my head with your indigo
Falling slowly into the afterglow
We're holding on, we're holding on, we're holding on strong

It's late at night
Do you wanna stay up
And play it right
You and I could make it up

It's late at night
Do you wanna stay up
And play it right
You and I could make it up

I would never doubt your love
But tell me, is mine enough
To get you through the night

I would never doubt your love
But baby tell me, is mine enough
To get you through ...
To get you through ...

It's late at night
Do you wanna stay up
And play it right
You and I could make it up

It's late at night
Do you wanna stay up
And play it right
You and I could make it up

It's late at night




My dear I know
We're almost there
