Don't Say Goodnight
Hot Chelle Rae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the stars in the sky
Let's wait 'til tomorrow paints the sun across the night
I see love in your eyes
And if you see it in mine
Let's wait 'til tomorrow
Don't say good, say good
Please don't say goodnight
Check cashed and I'm ready for the weekend
Blow it all makin' memories with my friends
Two girls on my lap super packed in
It's alright it's alright
Plug the iPod in put on A$AP
Hella loud tryna rap
"You can't rap!"
In her work uniform but she's still bad
It's alright it's alright
Take a deep breath and don't be shy
Don't you worry about tomorrow 'cause tomorrow ain't tonight just
Kick back let the universe align
Come on don't say goodnight
With the stars in the sky
Let's wait 'til tomorrow paints the sun across the night
I see love in your eyes
And if you see it in mine
Let's wait 'til tomorrow
Don't say good, say good
Please don't say goodnight
Super drunk still sayin' that we're just buzzed
Last call everybody's gettin' paired up
Makin' out at the bar call it young love
It's alright it's alright
Let's find a bonfire or we can start one
Throw your middle fingers up to a new sun
'Cause we ain't sober and the party's never over singin'
It's alright it's alright
Take a deep breath and don't be shy
Don't you worry about tomorrow 'cause tomorrow ain't tonight just
Kick back let the universe align
Come on don't say goodnight
With the stars in the sky
Let's wait 'til tomorrow paints the sun across the night
I see love in your eyes
And if you see it in mine
Let's wait 'til tomorrow
Don't say good, say good
Please don't say goodnight
I feel like we could do almost anything
Got my ride and a sweet little mary jane in those skinny jeans
By my side she gets me high
And I didn't expect this night to go so well
Come on don't say goodnight
With the stars in the sky
Let's wait 'til tomorrow paints the sun across the night
I see love in your eyes
And if you see it in mine
Let's wait 'til tomorrow
Don't say good, say good
Please don't say goodnight
The song "Don't Say Goodnight" by Hot Chelle Rae is about enjoying the night and not wanting it to end, especially when you are with someone special. The lyrics touch on the fear of saying goodnight and ending the time together. The singer tries to convince their partner to stay with them and wait until tomorrow when the night is painted with the sun across the sky. The song encourages the listener to let go of their fears and anxieties about the future and live in the moment with the person they care about.
Throughout the song, the singer recounts their night spent with friends, blowing off steam after cashing out their paycheck. They reminisce about the memories they've made and the people they've shared them with. The song focuses on the youthful feeling of invincibility and the idea that anything is possible, all while living in the present and soaking up the lights and sounds of a wild night.
The chorus repeats the plea to not say goodnight and to continue to enjoy the evening together, suggesting that they don't want to lose the feeling that they're experiencing. The song is a celebration of simple pleasures and the joy of living life to the fullest.

Come on don't say goodnight
Let's not end this moment yet
With the stars in the sky
It's a beautiful night
Let's wait 'til tomorrow paints the sun across the night
Let's wait until tomorrow to end this night
I see love in your eyes
I can tell you feel the same
And if you see it in mine
We both have the same feelings
Let's wait 'til tomorrow
Let's not rush this moment
Don't say good, say good
Don't say goodbye, just say good
Please don't say goodnight

Check cashed and I'm ready for the weekend
I'm ready to have some fun
Blow it all makin' memories with my friends
I'm going to spend all my money creating memories with my friends
Two girls on my lap super packed in
I have two girls sitting on my lap, it's crowded but fun
It's alright it's alright
Everything is okay
Plug the iPod in put on A$AP
Let's listen to some music
Hella loud tryna rap
We're trying to rap along loudly
"You can't rap!"
Someone is teasing us because we can't rap well
In her work uniform but she's still bad
She's wearing her work uniform but still looks attractive
Super drunk still sayin' that we're just buzzed
We're very drunk but still pretending we're just a little buzzed
Last call everybody's gettin' paired up
It's almost time to leave and everyone is finding someone to go home with
Makin' out at the bar call it young love
We're making out at the bar and we're young and in love
Let's find a bonfire or we can start one
Let's go find a bonfire or make our own
Throw your middle fingers up to a new sun
Let's show our rebellious side and put our middle fingers up to the new day
'Cause we ain't sober and the party's never over singin'
We're not sober yet and the party is still going strong
I feel like we could do almost anything
I feel like we can conquer anything
Got my ride and a sweet little mary jane in those skinny jeans
I have my car and some marijuana with me
By my side she gets me high
She's with me and makes me feel euphoric
And I didn't expect this night to go so well
I didn't think tonight would be so great
Take a deep breath and don't be shy
Relax and be yourself
Don't you worry about tomorrow 'cause tomorrow ain't tonight just
Stop worrying about tomorrow, it's not here yet
Kick back let the universe align
Relax and let things fall into place
