Late Nights Lyrics

Say you won't
I'm okay
That I'll be yours for all time
And I see through your eyes
Like silent daggers thrown across the floor
Where do we go from here?

Relapse, don't let go
Don't let it fall away
We are so innocent for you
Why let this die?

Cigarettes burn out softly in the dark
It's funny how even you
Would stumble at the sight of it
You know you've done wrong
Who cares?

Relapse, don't let go
Don't let it fall away
We are so innocent for you
Why let this die away?

No, I could not explain
The way that you escaped
They won't believe me anyway
Say goodbye now love
Goodbye my sweetheart
Say goodbye now love
You spread your wings and escaped
This place from which you came from
You left us here
You waved goodbye as you speed away
towards the sky

No I won't let you down
They won't let you go
So run love, run

Relapse, don't let go
Don't let it fall away
We are so innocent for you
Why let this die away?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. I think it's about a guy who walked in on his girlfriend while she and some other guy were 'busy'. The line "cigarettes burn out softly in the dark" could definitely mean that, considering smoking cigarettes after that type of thing is very common. And now that he knows she cheated, he tries to tell her to relapse into the feeling they used to share. "We are so innocent for you", I think he's saying he's willing to forgive her as long as she goes back to him. But in the end, she chose not to go back to him. The last verse in the song pretty much covers that. Also, I think the lyrics "No, I could not explain the way you escaped; they won't believe me anyway" could mean that everything just happened so fast and he's still in shock, and they used to be so good together so no one could really believe that it happened.

...at least, that's what I get out of it.
