Late Nights
Mike Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were all alone
I still hear the words you said
"′Til we're grey and old"
Now all I do is wonder
I wonder what we did
To throw away something like this
I miss those late nights covered in you
I wish I could take us back
We were so high, over the moon
Now I′m all alone instead
Oh, I never thought that I would
Have to say goodbye
I miss those late nights
I miss those late nights, late nights
I miss those late nights
I miss those late nights
I miss those late nights, late nights
Remember how we were gold
And it never rained
We had something magical
But we let it break
So all I do is wonder
I wonder what we did
To throw away something like this
I miss those late nights covered in you
I wish I could take us back
We were so high, over the moon
Now I'm all alone instead
Oh, I never thought that I would
Have to say goodbye
I miss those late nights
I miss those late nights, late nights
I miss those late nights covered in you
I wish I could take us back
I miss those late nights
I miss those late nights, late nights
Nobody else but you
Can help me the way you do, oh
I miss those late nights covered in you
I wish I could take us back
I miss those late nights
I miss those late nights, late nights
Oh
I miss those late nights, oh
I miss those late nights, oh
I miss those late nights, late nights
The lyrics to Mike Perry's song "Late Nights" tell a story of nostalgia and longing for a lost love. The song reminisces about a past relationship filled with intimate moments and overwhelming emotions. The singer remembers the way they danced with their partner, the connection they shared when they were alone together. The lyrics echo the promise made by the partner, that they would be together until old age.
However, something went wrong, and now the singer is left wondering what caused the downfall of their relationship. They express regret over letting go of something so special and enduring. They miss the late nights spent with their partner, the moments when they were completely absorbed in each other's embrace. The singer wishes they could turn back time and reclaim what they had, as they are now left feeling empty and alone.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that their love was once gold and unbreakable, but they allowed it to fall apart. It is a reminder of how precious and rare true love can be, and the regret that comes with losing it.

Remember the way we danced
Reflecting on the memories of the way we danced together
We were all alone
It was just the two of us without anyone else around
I still hear the words you said
I can still hear the special words you spoke to me
′Til we're grey and old
Promising to stay together until we grow old
Now all I do is wonder
Presently, my mind is filled with thoughts and questions
I wonder what we did
I ponder about the actions or choices we made
To throw away something like this
How did we let go of something so precious
I miss those late nights covered in you
I yearn for the intimate moments we shared together late at night
I wish I could take us back
I desire the ability to go back in time and relive those moments
We were so high, over the moon
We were filled with overwhelming joy and happiness
Now I'm all alone instead
Currently, I find myself in solitude and without your presence
Oh, I never thought that I would
I never anticipated that I would
Have to say goodbye
Have to bid farewell to each other
Remember how we were gold
Recall the time when we were precious and valuable
And it never rained
We experienced continuous bliss, devoid of any troubles
We had something magical
We possessed a unique and enchanting connection
But we let it break
Unfortunately, we allowed this beautiful bond to shatter
Nobody else but you
There is no other person except for you
Can help me the way you do, oh
Only you possess the ability to support and aid me in the way that you do
Oh
Expressing a sorrowful emotion
I miss those late nights, oh
I long for those late nights, expressing a sense of nostalgia
