All Night
Hawai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why, why do I
Why do I feel like
Falling down
on golden trails
I want you to know that I'm scared as hell

Yeah if this is for real
Well then maybe, reel me in

If it's a game
Well then, what a shame, shame.

I was realizing, we were on our own.
Spending all of our time, wasting every night
I was realizing, I was getting old
I been working all night
Doing everything right.
(oh my love) x2

I, I see your heart
It's beating faster
Than I thought
And for, oh my love
I wanna know you
Bring you home

Yeah if this is, for real.
Well then maybe, reel me in
If it's a game, well then what a shame, shame.
I was realizing, we were on our own.
Spending all of our time, wasting every night
I was realizing, I was getting old
I been working all night
Doing everything right.
Wanting together
To do it all right

Oh get a job in the morning
I been working all night
I'll stick to my steps
And then get up again
I'm gonna work a little harder
Give it all I got

I was realizing, we were on our own.
Spending all of our time, wasting every night
I was realizing, I was getting old
I been working all night
Doing everything right.

I was realizing, we were on our own
Spending all of our time, wasting every night.
