Leave The Night On
Hunt Sam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They roll the sidewalks in this town
All up after the sun goes down
And say nothin' good happens here
When midnight rolls around
But layin' down would be in vain
I can't sleep with you on my brain
And I ain't anywhere close to tired
Your kiss has got me wired

Girl, you got the beat right, killin' in your Levi's
High on your loving's got me buzzin' like a streetlight
It's still early out in Cali, baby, don't you wanna rally again?
Find a road with no name, lay back in the slow lane
The sky is dropping Jupiter around us like some old Train
We'll be rolling down the windows, I bet you we're catchin' our second wind
We don't have to go home, we can leave the night on
We can leave the night on, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Now all the stars are turnin' blue
Just kissed the clock 2:22
Baby, I know what you're wishin' for
I'm wishin' for it too
Now all the lights are flashin' gold
Nobody cares how fast we go
Our soundtrack's in the stereo
The DJ's on a roll

Girl, you got the beat right, killin' in your Levi's
High on your loving's got me buzzin' like a streetlight
It's still early out in Cali, baby, don't you wanna rally again
We'll find a road with no name, lay back in the slow lane
The sky is dropping Jupiter around us like some old Train
We'll be rolling down the windows, I bet you we're catchin' our second wind
We don't have to go home, we can leave the night on
We can leave the night on

The sun'll steal the magic from us soon
So let's take one more trip around the moon

Girl, you got the beat right, killin' in your Levi's
High on your loving's got me buzzin' like a streetlight
It's still early out in Cali, baby, don't you wanna rally?
We'll find a road with no name, lay back in the slow lane
The sky is dropping Jupiter all around us like some old train
We'll be rolling down the windows, I bet you we're catchin' our second wind
We don't have go home, we can leave the night on
We can leave the night on
We can leave the night on





Buzzin' like a streetlight
We can leave 'em on tonight

Overall Meaning

In Hunt Sam's song Leave the Night On, the singer is talking about a small town where there's not much happening after midnight. Despite the town's reputation, being with the person he loves keeps him wide awake. The singer is drawn to his lover, and being with them keeps him buzzing with energy. The lyrics paint the picture of a night time adventure with no particular destination in mind. They will find a road with no name, and lay back in the slow lane, with the stars and sky providing the perfect backdrop. The idea throughout the song is that life is better lived in the moment, and you should make the most of it while you can.


The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and tell the story of a couple having the time of their lives on a spontaneous adventure. The song is a celebration of youth, the feeling of being carefree, and having no responsibilities. The song has a catchy chorus that's easy to sing along to, and a beat that will have you tapping your feet.
