Night And Day
Matt and Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the tom-tom;
When the jungle shadows fall,
Like the tick, tick, tock
Of the stately clock,
As it stands against the wall,
Like the drip, drip, drip,
Of the raindrops,
So a voice within me
Keeps repeating,
You, you, you
Night and day
You are the one,
Only you
Beneath the moon
And under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter,
Darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day.
Day and night
Why is it so,
That this longing for you follows
Where-ever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom,
In the silence of my lonely room,
I think of you,
Night and day.
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an
Oh, such a hungry yearning,
Burning inside of me.
And its torment won't be through
Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you,
Day and night,
Night and day.
The lyrics of "Night and Day" by Matt and Lawrence consist of two main stanzas that both carry the same message of an all-encompassing passion for a person, night and day. The first stanza describes the various sounds that persistently repeat themselves like a drumbeat, a clock ticking, or raindrops dripping, much like how the voice inside the singer's head keeps repeating the name of his lover, "you, you, you." The second stanza is more expansive, as it explores the extent of the singer's love and longing for his partner. It's a love that transcends distance and separation, as the thoughts of his lover are with him whether he's in a noisy street or a quiet room. The singer describes a hunger that's burning inside him, a yearning that won't be satisfied until he can spend his life making love to his beloved, day and night.
Line by Line Meaning
Like the beat, beat, beat, Of the tom-tom;
Just like the repetitive rhythm of the tom-tom, there is a constant inner voice calling out to you.
When the jungle shadows fall,
In the moments of darkness, the inner voice seems to become louder and more urgent.
Like the tick, tick, tock Of the stately clock, As it stands against the wall,
Similar to how a clock ticks methodically, the voice calling out for you is a steady constant in my life.
Like the drip, drip, drip, Of the raindrops, When the summer show'r is through;
Just like the sound of raindrops dripping down after a summer shower has ended, the voice calling for you persists even after moments of respite.
So a voice within me Keeps repeating, You, you, you
This inner voice keeps repeating your name, a sign that I cannot seem to shake thoughts of you from my mind.
Night and day You are the one, Only you Beneath the moon And under the sun.
Regardless of the time or place, you are the only one occupying my thoughts and my heart.
Whether near to me or far, It's no matter, Darling, where you are I think of you Night and day.
Even if you were far away, it would make no difference as I still find myself thinking of you constantly, both day and night.
Day and night Why is it so, That this longing for you follows Where-ever I go?
I cannot understand why this longing for you stays with me regardless of where I am or what I'm doing.
In the roaring traffic's boom, In the silence of my lonely room, I think of you, Night and day.
Whether bustling in the chaos of the outside world or alone in a quiet place, you consume my thoughts relentlessly night and day.
Night and day Under the hide of me There's an Oh, such a hungry yearning, Burning inside of me.
Deep within my being exists a profound yearning for you that never seems to be sated.
And its torment won't be through Til you let me spend my life Making love to you, Day and night, Night and day.
This yearning will continue endlessly unless you allow me to love you with every fiber of my being throughout the days and nights of my life.
