Toby Sebastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, come on over and dance past midnight
Oh, come on over and dance past midnight
I've been waiting like a fool
Waiting here for you and it's time
Oh now, baby
Come on over and dance past midnight
Oh, come on over and dance past midnight
I've been waiting like a fool
Waiting here for you
Waiting all night, all night

Boop boop, boop boop
Boop boop

Oh and I saw you standing
On the other side of the room
I got so hooked on your honey perfume
I'm out of my depth
I'm out of my mind but I try
Yes I try, I keep trying

And the way that you move when bowie comes on
I get so crazy, oh it almost feels wrong
But I keep trying
Yes, I keep trying
Oh, I try, yes, I try
How I try

So now, baby, come on over and dance past midnight
Oh come on over and dance past midnight
I've been waiting like a fool
Waiting here for you and it's time
Oh now, baby, come on over and dance past midnight
Oh come on over and dance past midnight
I've been waiting like a fool
Waiting here for you
Waiting all night, all night

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, yeah, oh
I'm losing my mind





Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been waiting all night, I've been waiting all night

Overall Meaning

The song "Midnight" by Toby Sebastian is a heartfelt plea for someone to come and dance with him past midnight. In the first verse, he sings about waiting for someone "like a fool" and how it's time for them to come and join him on the dance floor. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with an urgent plea for this person to finally come over and dance with him.


The second verse gives us a little more insight into Toby's feelings about this person. He describes getting "hooked on [their] honey perfume" and being out of his depth and his mind, but still trying to impress them. The mention of Bowie coming on and making him crazy suggests that this person has a similar taste in music to Toby and that they could potentially have a connection through that. Overall, the song is about the desire to connect with someone romantically and not wanting to miss the chance to do so, as represented through the metaphor of dancing past midnight.


Line by Line Meaning

Baby, come on over and dance past midnight
Inviting someone to dance past midnight


Oh, come on over and dance past midnight
Repeated invitation to dance past midnight


I've been waiting like a fool
Expressing foolishness for waiting


Waiting here for you and it's time
Noticing the right time to invite


Oh now, baby
Addressing the person to whom the artist is talking


Waiting all night, all night
Reiterating how long the singer has been waiting


Oh and I saw you standing
Narrating the situation when the singer sees the person


On the other side of the room
Describing the person's location


I'm out of my depth
Admitting not feeling comfortable in the situation


I'm out of my mind but I try
Trying to cope with one's emotions


And the way that you move when bowie comes on
Noticing how the person dances


I get so crazy, oh it almost feels wrong
Feeling odd about one's feelings


But I keep trying
Persisting despite challenges


Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Vocalization of emotions


Ah, yeah, oh
Expressing emotions


I'm losing my mind
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions


I've been waiting all night, I've been waiting all night
Repeating how long the artist has been waiting
