Midnight
Jordan Andrew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could really love you if you'd let me
You could really be my everything

I can't tell what you want
I want you to want me
I'll be there
When you want me to want you

I could really love you if you'd let me
You could really be my everything
Just thought I'd let you know
I know that it's late, to tell you I'm sorry
You could really be my everything
You keep me awake
I know that it's late, to tell you I'm sorry, yeah

I can't tell what you want
I want you to want me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jordan Andrew's 'Midnight' speak of a deep love and desire for someone who the singer is unsure whether feels the same way. The opening lines suggest that if the person would allow themselves to be loved, they could be everything to the singer. However, there is uncertainty in the air as the singer admits they cannot tell what the other person wants. Nonetheless, they still yearn to be desired, hoping that the other person would want them just as much.

The chorus reiterates the opening desires in a more passionate and heartfelt manner. The singer expresses how much they want to be with the person, stating that they would do anything to make it work. However, they also admit to being at fault and apologize for the late confession of how much the other person means to them. Despite it being 'late,' the singer still believes that the other person could be their everything, keeping them awake with the thought of what could be.

Overall, the song speaks of the angst and uncertainty that can come from wanting someone deeply, but not knowing if they reciprocate the same feelings. The singer's vulnerability and honesty make the track relatable to anyone who has experienced the same situation.
