Just Tonight
The Pretty Reckless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
And I can't think from all the pills, hey
Start the car and take me home

Here we are
And your too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home
Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
Its telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then its all because of you
Just tonight

Here I am
And I can't seem to see straight
But I'm too numb to feel right now

And here I am
Watching the clock that's ticking away my time
I'm too numb to feel right now

Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
Its telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then its all because of you
Just tonight

Do you understand who I am do you wanna know
Can you really see through me
Now I have got to go

Just tonight
I won't leave
And ill lie and you'll believe
Just tonight
I will see that its all because of me

Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
Its telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then its all because of you
Just tonight
Its all because of you
Just tonight
Its all because of you
Just tonight




Its all because of you
Just tonight

Overall Meaning

The Pretty Reckless's song "Just Tonight" is about indulging in impulsive, reckless behavior to escape emotional turmoil. The singer is under the influence of pills and numb to the world around her, while her partner is too drunk to comprehend her words. They decide to channel their frustrations into a night of passionate love, throwing caution to the wind and living in the moment. The repeated phrase "Just tonight" emphasizes the temporary nature of their release—the singer knows that everything will come crashing back down once the night ends, but she's willing to embrace the impulsivity and ecstasy of the moment regardless.


The lyrics also hint at a sense of emotional disconnection between the singer and her partner. She questions whether he truly understands her or can "see through" her, and ultimately takes responsibility for her own emotional state, singing "Just tonight / I will see that it's all because of me." This suggests that she feels like she's been hiding her true emotions from her partner, and this reckless night is a way to finally let them out.


Overall, "Just Tonight" is a dark and intense exploration of one's desire to escape and indulge in reckless behavior in the face of emotional pain.
