Summer Nights
Sacagawea and The Hunters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The fire burns
In the afternoon
The sun erased
By the glow of the moon
Another day
Turns into the night
I wanna stay
But I gotta be up at first light
Don't like having fear of missing out
So give me a second to come down from the clouds
And soak in all these memories
I never wanna leave
Can I get
One more minute
To take this in
One more minute
To play pretend that
Summer nights will never end
I never wanna go to bed
One more minute
To take this in
One more minute
To play pretend that
Summer nights will never end
I never wanna go to bed
I can't wait
Til we're together again
Til that day
I'll go through every moment in my head
Replaying what we've found
I'll hold my breath for another hour
Don't like having fear of missing out
So give me a second to come down from the clouds
And soak in all these memories
I never wanna leave
Can I get
One more minute
To take this in
One more minute
To play pretend that
Summer nights will never end
I never wanna go to bed
One more minute
To take this in
One more minute
To play pretend that
Summer nights will never end
I never wanna go to bed
One more minute
To take this in
One more minute
To play pretend that




Summer nights will never end
I never wanna go to bed

Line by Line Meaning

The fire burns
The flames of the fire are still blazing in the late afternoon


In the afternoon
It is still daytime and there are still hours of daylight left


The sun erased
The sun has now set and the sky is getting darker


By the glow of the moon
The only light coming through now is from the moon


Another day
Another day has gone and the night is upon them


Turns into the night
The day has turned into night and the sky is now pitch black


I wanna stay
I don't want to go home or go to bed, I want to stay here a little longer


But I gotta be up at first light
Even though I want to stay, I have to wake up early tomorrow morning


Don't like having fear of missing out
I don't want to miss anything that is happening


So give me a second to come down from the clouds
Give me a moment to clear my head and stop daydreaming


And soak in all these memories
I want to remember every moment and detail of this night


I never wanna leave
I wish I could stay here forever


Can I get
Is it possible for me to have


One more minute
Just a little bit more time


To take this in
To fully appreciate and enjoy what is happening right now


One more minute
Just a little bit more time


To play pretend that
To imagine or believe that


Summer nights will never end
This amazing summer night will go on forever


I never wanna go to bed
I don't want to go to sleep and end this night


I can't wait
I am really excited and eager for something to happen


Til we're together again
Until we can all be together again


Til that day
Until that specific day comes


I'll go through every moment in my head
I will replay every detail of the memories from tonight in my mind


Replaying what we've found
Remembering everything we experienced and discovered


I'll hold my breath for another hour
I am anxiously waiting to see what happens next


One more minute
Just a little bit more time


To take this in
To fully appreciate and enjoy what is happening right now


One more minute
Just a little bit more time

Just a little bit more time


To take this in
To fully appreciate and enjoy what is happening right now


One more minute
Just a little bit more time


To play pretend that
To imagine or believe that


Summer nights will never end
This amazing summer night will go on forever


I never wanna go to bed
I don't want to go to sleep and end this night


One more minute
Just a little bit more time


To take this in
To fully appreciate and enjoy what is happening right now
