85 and I'm a king
Bet you wish you were with me
Cuz you been lookin' for retro nights
And another vintage scene
As a walkman plays
Static in my ears stays
In the arcade
Neon fades into gray
I don't want it any other way
I don't want it any other way
No more
You got enough on your mind
As you play away all your life
While you hit me from back to forth
I'm just another high-score
As a walkman plays
Static in my ears stays
In the arcade
Neon fades into gray




I don't want it any other way
I don't want it any other way

Overall Meaning

The song points out that the listener, too, might wish that they were in the singer's position, reliving the vintage scene of the arcade in its prime.


Throughout the song, the singer seems to be perfectly content with his surroundings – he doesn’t want to alter anything about his arcade-honed lifestyle. He revels in the simple pleasure of listening to his Walkman, which plays only static as he plays in the arcade. He's pleased to see the neon lights of the arcade, which provide the perfect backdrop to the game that he knows by heart. And as the neon fades into grey, he seems entirely at ease, happy to let things take their natural course.


Overall, the lyrics to "Night" create a picture of an arcade aficionado at his or her peak, reliving the golden age of gaming with ease and confidence. It's a song that embraces nostalgia in a way that feels genuine and true to the experience of those who grew up in the era of classic arcades.

SATURDAY NIGHTS REMIX LYRICS

[Verse 1: Khalid]
Saturday nights, blueberry cigarillos
Swishers make my throat hurt
Rolling OCB's on the side for me
Light 'em up and let 'em both burn
Family feuds, say your mom's confused
Off of shit she doesn't wanna learn
But daddy's gone, say he's never home
And wishing only makes it worse

[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep
'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see

[Chorus: Khalid]
All the things that I know that your parents don't
They don't care like I do, nowhere like I do
And all the things that I know that your parents don't
They don't care like I do, nowhere like I do
Nowhere like I do
Nowhere like I do

[Verse 2: Kane Brown]
Saturday nights, your works shoes are stilettos
Smell of cheap perfume
Makeup on your face, try to hide the pain
All the lies, they look like the truth
Deep in your heart, all you want is love
But you never felt good enough
You got wrapped up in other plans
But this ain't the way the story ends

[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep
'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see

[Chorus: Khalid & Kane Brown]
All the things that I know that your parents don't
They don't care like I do, nowhere like I do
And all the things that I know that your parents don't
They don't care like I do, nowhere like I do
Nowhere like I do

[Bridge: Khalid & Kane Brown]
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
'Cause I care (I care), I care about you
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
There's nowhere I'd rather be than right here around you
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
I care (I care), care about you (Care about you)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
There's nowhere I'd rather be

[Chorus: Kane Brown, Kane Brown & Khalid,]
With all the things that I know that your parents don't
They don't care about you the way that I do, oh
All the things that I know that your parents don't
Don't care about you the way that I, the way that I do
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
The way that I do (Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
The way that I do (Do-do-do)
The way that I do (Do-do-do, ah)
The way that I do, I do, oh (Do-do-do, do-do-do, ah)
