The Big Pink – Tonight Lyrics 15 years ago
This song intrigued the first time I heard it. Think: I'm a big fan of The Long Blondes, and the first phrase is "Only Lovers Left Alive", a great song performed by the (long blondes) band.

I did some search and found out that "Tonight you take a part of my life" can be talking about a song, not a girl. See:

"Only lovers are left alive" > Song by The Long Blondes

"Wasted days and wasted nights" > Song by Freddy Fender

"Stand by me" > Originally by Ben E. King, with many versions

"Chance your love" > can be a reference to Chance On Love from Black Sabbath
"make it mine" > Song by Jason Mraz

"With your arms around me" > can be Pear Jam's Throw Your Arms Around Me or Jens Lekman's Your Arms Around Me.

"I'm satisfied" > Bee Gees!

"come inside" > Chemical Brothers

"Forget the world" > many artists, including Depeche Mode's Forget About the World

"Made of Gold" > Many artists too

"before I'm gone" > Somking Popes.


so, that's my meaning: He's talking about a song that really means something for him.
