With You Tonight
SUMMER MOON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But please don't waste my time
We can paint the town
The color in your eyes
I know where we can hide
Be alone for a little while
I know where we can hide
Crashed through the life
Down and empty road
You don't have to die
On the radio
I know where we can hide
Be alone for a little while
I know where we can hide
Right there with you tonight
Be careful you two
A girl on her own
You look for you too
My heart will run on
I know where we can hide
Be alone for a little while
I know where we can hide
I dance with you tonight
On and on yeah the beat goes on
On and on yeah the beat goes on
On and on yeah the beat goes on
On and on yeah the beat goes on
On and on yeah the beat goes on
On and on yeah the beat goes on
On and on yeah the beat goes on and on
On and on yeah the beat goes on
The lyrics of "With You Tonight" by Summer Moon capture the essence of young love and adventure. The first stanza speaks to a willingness to spend time with someone, as long as it's not a waste of time. The second line suggests exploring and painting the town with the person, enveloped in their beautiful eyes. The refrain, "I know where we can hide, be alone for a little while" emphasizes the desire to sneak away from the world with this person, safe in their company. The bridge seems to comment on the high stakes of young love, as the singer warns the couple to be careful, suggesting that the two people may need to look out for each other as the world goes on around them. The final lines, "On and on yeah the beat goes on," emphasize the sense of timelessness and excitement found in young love.
One interpretation of the song could be that the lyrics are describing a sense of reckless abandon and adventure. The singer is willing to go on a journey with someone, even if it's not practical or safe. The line, "You don't have to die on the radio," feels like a reference to rock music, where living life on the edge is often romanticized. The cautionary bridge could be read as a warning to not get too carried away in this adventure, lest someone get hurt. Overall, the song encourages the listener to embrace the moment and seize the opportunity to be with the one they love.

I don't mind you hanging around
I am okay with you staying close to me
But please don't waste my time
Please don't spend time with me when you don't mean it
We can paint the town
We can have a great time in this city
The color in your eyes
We can make this city more colorful with the radiance in your eyes

I know of a place where we can go unnoticed
Be alone for a little while
We can have the space we need to be ourselves for a while

I want to be with you in that place of solitude and freedom, tonight
Crashed through the life
Life can be chaotic and tough sometimes
Down and empty road
It could feel like we're going nowhere and that the journey is meaningless
You don't have to die
It doesn't have to be a dead end or feel like it's taking its toll on us
On the radio
We can find solace in listening to music, it can calm and inspire us
Be careful you two
We have to watch out for each other, as two people traveling together
A girl on her own
It can be dangerous for a woman traveling solo
You look for you too
I will also be looking out for myself along the journey
My heart will run on
I will be guided by my emotions and feelings as I travel
I dance with you tonight
We can have fun, let loose and enjoy ourselves together, tonight
On and on yeah the beat goes on
The rhythm of life never stops
On and on yeah the beat goes on and on
We have to keep moving, keep going, and not get stuck
