And when the nighttime comes
We don't bite our tongues
We gon' let that shit fly tonight
Singing songs that we love
Soon enough we make up
We gon' let that shit die tonight

Do you understand my love?
Please don't look at me and shrug
I've been trying more than ever
If this doesn't last forever
Least we spent the time we did
Helped each other through our shit
Yeah, yeah

Do you understand my love?
Please don't look at me and shrug
I've been trying more than ever
If this doesn't last forever
Least we spent the time we did
Helped each other through our shit
Yeah, yeah

In my Holy Ghost and
Singing only portions
Can't avoid emotions
But we try our hardest
To hide regardless
Now it's been so long
We don't know where our heart is

Yeah, I'm rollercoastin'
In my Holy Ghost and

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song NIGHTTIME by Russ talks about the couple's relationship and how they deal with their emotions and differences when the nighttime comes. The first verse emphasizes that they don't hold back during the nighttime and let everything out. They sing songs that they both love and even if they argue, they will make up and let go of their issues. The chorus repeats this idea and establishes it as a recurring theme throughout the song.


In the second verse, Russ talks about his emotional state while being in a relationship. He is honest about his feelings, and although he tries to hide them, it's challenging to put on a façade. He is on a rollercoaster of emotions and is just singing parts of the song to hide the fact that he is hurt. He also admits that he's unsure where his heart is and that it's been so long since he's been in a relationship that he's lost sight of his true emotions.


The bridge of the song depicts Russ talking to his girl, telling her not to play games with him and acknowledges that he wants her, not anybody else. The song ends with the chorus repeating itself, suggesting that they are ready to let go of their differences and forgive each other.


Overall, NIGHTTIME talks about the difficulties that come with being in a relationship, and how the couple addresses and works through their issues at the end of the day.
