Let's See What the Night Can Do
Jason Mraz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's drive out to the desert at midnight
To dance in the dust of our headlights
And score some good seats for the sunrise
And get dressed up in clothes we don't mind getting messed up
When no one will know how to get us
We don't need the map, we'll just drive, drive, drive

I wanna get lost with you
And hide out, out under the light of the moon
I wanna get lost with you
And see what it's like to spend the whole night
With you, just you
You, just you

We can head North over the oceans of turquoise
Where after a while there'll be no noise
Set for the sound of our heartbeats beating on
And we'll stand in the Canyon alone
Singing our favorite songs
And wait for the words to return in the echo, echo, echo, echo, echo

I wanna get lost with you
And hideout out under the light of the moon
I wanna get lost with you
And see what it's like to spend the whole night
With you, just you
With you, just you
With you, just you
With you, just you

'Cause I wanna get lost
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
I wanna get lost
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
I wanna get lost
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
I wanna get lost (I wanna get lost)
Let's see what the night can do (I wanna get lost with you)
Let's see what our hearts wanna do
I wanna know what it's like to spend the whole night
With you, just you




With you, just you
With you, just you

You, just you

We can head north
Over the oceans of turquoise
Where after a while, there'll be no noise
Except for the sound of our heart beat's beating on
And we'll stand in a candid alone
Singing our favorite songs
And wait for the words to return in the echo-echo-echo-echo-echo

I wanna get lost with you
And hide out, out under the light of the moon
I wanna get lost with you
And see what it's like to spend the whole night with you, just you
With you, just you
With you, just you
With you, just you

And I... wanna get lost...

Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
I wanna get lo-o-o-o-o-ost
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
I wanna get lo-o-o-o-o-ost
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what the night can do
I wanna get lo-o-o-o-o-ost with you
Let's see what the night can do
Let's see what our hearts wanna do
I wanna know what it's like to spend a whole night with you, just you
With you, just you
With you, just you

This song doesn't actually make me think romantically. It makes me think about my 3 close friends, and the amazing memories we've created over the years and the laughs we've shared. And it makes me joyful about the good times to come. They are the back bone of my life 💟

@SunAndMirror

Friends are a blessing. Do what you can to preserve that

@worldpeace1969

@chesterlance1600

Jason mraz! Please live longer! I still want to listen to your new and old songs over and over again till I grow old.

@cliff4637

Mraz and Sheeran are just great lyricists and guitarists.

@schepeque

Do not compare Jason with Ed. Jason is a much better guitarist.

@sarahpalintellsajoke

Man, I'd like to hear that duet.

@Visionery1

I don't know what's great about these lyrics and the ridiculous 'yodeling'!
