Up All Night
Suburban Legends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shake your booty
Prepare for domination
I think you'll like me
I've got quite the reputation
Here comes that feeling again
Out pop my guts now I'm a mess
Been up all night
Wondering why

Things aren't getting any better
You look so good
It can't be right
Tonight lets make our dreams come true
It's our little secret
For your information
I just can't beat it
I've got a strong imagination
I see you embracing me without a care
We're weightless floating on the midnight air
This moment is an unforgettable love affair
Nothing matters when I touch your soft brown hair
Hold on dear, we're falling now
I forget which way is down
Confusion clouding around
Never wanted anything more than you now
One step beyond its over
Now I regret it
Was it something inside my head?
I know I'll take it
One step again its not so bad
I can't fake it

Desires driving me mad
I can't contain it contain it

I've got quite the reputation
I have a well-known and respected reputation that precedes me

Here comes that feeling again
That familiar feeling is returning

Out pop my guts now I'm a mess
I am overwhelmed with emotions

Been up all night
Unable to sleep, thinking about life

Wondering why
Puzzled by the events of life

Things aren't getting any better
The situation remains stagnant or is getting worse

You look so good
You are absolutely stunning

It can't be right
It seems impossible that you could exist in reality

Tonight lets make our dreams come true
Let's do something incredible together

It's our little secret
A discreet arrangement between just the two of us

For your information
Here's something you need to know

Hold on dear, we're falling now
We are going down with each other

I forget which way is down
My sense of direction is lost in this moment

Confusion clouding around
Everything is getting murky and confusing

Never wanted anything more than you now
I desire nothing else other than you in this moment

One step beyond its over
We've already gone too far in this moment

Now I regret it
I am starting to regret this decision

Was it something inside my head?
Did I make this decision impulsively or is this what I really want?

I know I'll take it
I know I will deal with the consequences of my actions

One step again its not so bad
Maybe we can still enjoy this moment one more time

I can't fake it
I can't pretend that I don't want or enjoy this

Desires driving me mad
My feelings and desires are overwhelming and confusing me

I can't contain it contain it
I am unable to control these emotions
