Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knock at my door three times when no one is around
My babe is alone and is so lonely
but in the evenings is when I . you only
The wind goes open now, so come around here
I've been awake since a quarter to ten.
The way you move now is making me shy
Cause no one loves me like my late night lover!
I heard you creeping, my darling last week
I try to... in your sleep
Go in with ... of this sweet in the air
The scent of something that I want to share
Cause you're my late night lover!
One by one the starts come out in the sky
That's when I lock my doors and turn out the light.
Now each and every night I let my hair down
Just the way you like it in case you'll come around.
Now the moon shines bright and the wind goes ablaze
But I keep waiting 'till i see your face!
Come on, baby, we are lost...
Cause no one loves me better than my late night lover!
My clock is ticking fast it's almost half past three
That time in night when everything is a dream
But .something whisper my name
No come closer and I'll whisper the same
Cause I'm your late night lover
And you're my late night lover
Call me my late night lover!
I'll be your late night lover!
The lyrics of Rachel Brooke's song "Late Night Lover" are about a couple who only see each other late at night. The persona in the song is inviting her lover to come to her house at night, knocking on her door three times when there's no one around. She confesses that she's lonely in the evenings but feels complete when she's with her lover. The persona feels shy when she sees her lover's movements, as no one loves her like her late night lover does.
The persona then recalls a time when she heard her lover creeping into her house while she was sleeping. She wakes up and means to resist him, but the scent of his cologne changes her mind. The persona enjoys her privacy at night and waits for her lover to come to her, enjoying their moments together. She whispers to her lover, calling him her late night lover, and tells him that she will always be his late night lover.
The song's theme revolves around two people's love for each other that can only be expressed at nighttime. The lyrics are a vampire-like proclamation of two lovers who can only be together in the night. The song's lyrics capture a sense of passion and intimacy that only two people, who are truly in love, can share. This sense of intimacy is highlighted by the persona's shyness towards her lover and the secrecy they need to sustain their love.

Now come to me baby when the sun goes down
Come to me when it's dark, when nobody is seeing us
Knock at my door three times when no one is around
Signal me when I can let you in, without being caught
My babe is alone and is so lonely
I am feeling lonely and need someone by my side
but in the evenings is when I . you only
I only think of you in the evening time
The wind goes open now, so come around here
Conditions are perfect, so come and see me now
I've been awake since a quarter to ten.
I am eagerly waiting for you, counting the minutes till you arrive
The way you move now is making me shy
Your presence and gestures make me feel nervous yet excited
Cause no one loves me like my late night lover!
I feel truly loved by you, my lover who comes in the dark night
I heard you creeping, my darling last week
I noticed your presence last week when you were trying to sneak into my room
I try to... in your sleep
I try to recognize you even in my dreams
Go in with ... of this sweet in the air
Walk-in, as there's a sweet fragrance present in the air
The scent of something that I want to share
I like the smell and want to share the moment with you
Cause you're my late night lover!
You are my special someone who comes and makes my night unforgettable
One by one the starts come out in the sky
As the night progresses, stars begin to show in the dark sky
That's when I lock my doors and turn out the light.
Once it's dark, I secure my place and turn off the lights, waiting for you
Now each and every night I let my hair down
I loosen myself up every night, preparing for your arrival
Just the way you like it in case you'll come around.
I make myself look good as per your liking, hoping that you will show up
Now the moon shines bright and the wind goes ablaze
The moonlight makes everything look beautiful and the wind breezes, signaling your arrival
But I keep waiting 'till I see your face!
I wait patiently for you, hoping to see you soon
Come on, baby, we are lost...
Let's get lost in each other's company, forgetting everything else
Cause no one loves me better than my late night lover!
I am sure no one can love me the way you do, my lover who appears in the dark night
My clock is ticking fast it's almost half past three
Time is running out, and it's almost 3:30 am
That time in night when everything is a dream
It's that time of night when everything seems surreal, and I feel lost
But .something whisper my name
But I feel like something is calling out to me in a whisper
No come closer and I'll whisper the same
Come closer to me, and I'll share the secrets of my heart with you
Cause I'm your late night lover
I am your secret admirer, who waits for you every night
And you're my late night lover
You are my secret love, who makes my dark nights come alive
Call me my late night lover!
Call me your secret sweetheart, your late night lover
I'll be your late night lover!
I promise to be your secret admirer, your late night lover, always
