Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a little later on tonight
How about you and me get together have a couple drinks
Well don't you think that sounds like, a good time
You start stridin' over
We can't get no closer
Ain't no room in the middle
Let's go start a fire
How about you and I get this thing movin' shakin' grovin'
Baby tell me what your doin'
Later on, later on, later on, later on, later on, later on
Girl you're shining like a movie star
And y'know you look so good
I can't stop starin'
And I can tell that you're feelin' it too
What you wanna do with that smile you're wearin'
Oh yea
What you say we got lost lets go
Spend a couple hours just gettin'
To know each other out there in the moonlight glow
And when we get alone
You start stridin' over
We can't get no closer
Ain't no room in the middle
Girl watcha' doin' a little later
Let's go start a fire
How about you and I get this thing movin' shakin' grovin'
Baby tell me what your doin'
Later on, later on, later on, later on
Yea
You start stridin' over
We can't get no closer
Ain't no room in the middle
Girl watcha' doin' a little later
Let's go start a fire
How about you and I get this thing movin' shakin' grovin'
Baby tell me what your doin'
Later on, later on, later on, later on, later on, later on
That come on feeling getting strong
Drink it up 'till it's gone
This is what we're waiting on
Later on, later on, yeah!
The Swon Brothers' "Later On" is a song about a man who is trying to initiate a casual relationship with a woman for a night of drinks and fun. The opening lyrics have the singer asking the woman to tell him what she's got going on, later on. He suggests they get together for drinks and try to have a good time. He then persuades her to come striding over to him, and they will get so close that there won't be any room in the middle as they spend the night dancing the night away while sipping on drinks.
The song's chorus is hopeful, with an infectious melody that makes listeners want to dance along. The song's overall message is about living in the moment and enjoying the present. There is no long-term planning or expectations, just the anticipation of a good time with someone they care about. The lyrics employ metaphors of fire and moonlight to give the song a sense of passion and adventure.
