Stay the Night
Red Panda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its been so long since the last time we talked
We never seemed to finish what we start
I know its tough to stay in touch
We always seem to say
"We're not in love
We just have fun
It's better off this way"

Stay the night if your passing by
This is the only time
To clear our minds
Come on baby
Hold our heads up high
We've got some catching up
To do tonight.

I should've known better
Then to feel this way
No matter how long you are gone
I will always wait
I know its tough to stay in touch
We always seem to say
"We're not in love
We just have fun
It's better off this way"

Stay the night if you're passing by
This is the only time
To clear our minds
Come on baby
Hold our heads up high
We've got some catching up
To do tonight.

So savor this moment.
So savor this moment.

I know its tough
To stay in touch
We always seem to say
"We're not in love
We just have fun
It's better off this way"

Stay the night if you're passing by
This is the only time
To clear our minds
Come on baby
Hold our heads up high
We've got some catching up
To do tonight.

Stay the night if you're passing by
This is the only time
To clear our minds
Come on baby
Hold our heads up high

We've got some catching up
To do tonight.

Overall Meaning

"Stay the Night" by Red Panda is a song about rekindling an old friendship or romance. The lyrics speak to the feeling of distance and lack of communication that often creeps up in relationships, but also the longing to reconnect and catch up on what has been missed. The opening lines, "It's been so long since the last time we talked, we never seemed to finish what we start" express this idea of missed opportunities and unfinished conversations. The singer suggests that although it's tough to stay in touch, it's worth it to clear their minds and catch up, implying that they still value the connection they once had.

The chorus of the song, "Stay the night if you're passing by, this is the only time to clear our minds, come on baby, hold our heads up high, we've got some catching up to do tonight" serves as an invitation to the other person to spend time together, in the hopes of reconnecting and creating new memories. By emphasizing the concept of "clearing their minds," the singer suggests that reconnecting with this person is important and could provide them with closure or a sense of resolution.

The song concludes with the repeated line "so savor this moment," which suggests that the singer is present in the moment and wants to enjoy the time spent with the other person. Overall, the song's message is about the importance of cherishing relationships and maintaining connections, even if the relationship has changed over time.
