West Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to get out of bed
You know that I'll hit the snooze
5am I was with you
You knew my shift was at 8
But you called me saying "hey
I don't know what I should do
Can I come kick it with you" ah
Remember all things we said
Remember what we promised each other
Oh oh (oh oh)
It was after midnight
I know, we get crazy
We let go (let go)
It was after midnight, midnight
After midnight, midnight
We both let go
Cause we both know
When it's after midnight, midnight
After midnight, midnight
(We both let go
Cause we both know)
How do you do this to me?
Keep me calm and help me breathe
Just a little bit slower
You keep my thoughts sober
I don't know what I can say
So you don't push me away
It's not on me it's on you
I've done all I can do
Remember all things we said
Remember what we promised each other
Oh oh ah
It was after midnight
I know, we get crazy
We let go (let go)
It was after midnight, midnight
After midnight, midnight
We both let go
Cause we both know
When it's after midnight, midnight
After midnight, midnight oh
(We both let go
Cause we both know)
It was after midnight, midnight (after midnight, midnight)
After midnight, midnight (after midnight, midnight)
We both let go (after midnight, midnight)
Cause we both know (after midnight, midnight)
When it's after midnight, midnight (after midnight, midnight)
After midnight, midnight oh (after midnight, midnight)
We both let go (after midnight, midnight)
Cause we both know (after midnight, midnight)
Come through baby (after midnight, midnight, after midnight, midnight)
You know I want you (after midnight, midnight, after midnight, midnight)
Because I miss you (after midnight, midnight, after midnight, midnight)
Mhm Mhm Mhm Mhm (after midnight, midnight, after midnight, midnight)
The song "Midnight" by West Avenue tells a story of a person who is struggling to wake up and start their day. The first verse talks about the difficulty the person has with getting out of bed in the early morning. The chorus, however, is a reminiscence of the past. The song talks about the memories shared between two people who had a deep connection, which they promised to keep forever. Then, we hear the refrain, "It was after midnight, I know, we get crazy, we let go" which hints to the beautiful memories shared between the two. It talks about how things change after midnight and how people let go of their control in such an hour.
The second verse talks about how the other person in the relationship helps to keep the singer calm and collected. It also talks about how the singer tries to do their best in the relationship not to push the other person away. The meaning of this song is to show how relationships can be tough and how people can let go of their control and enjoy themselves with each other after midnight. The song is a reflection of the raw emotions that people go through, more specifically in the late hours of the night.
