Up All Night Lyrics
Waking up in someone else's bed
Was what I was waiting for
Oh my days what have I done
She saw me sneaking out the door
What have i been waiting for
Been wasting all my time
Watching my youth slip away
This surely is a crime
And no she don't know what we do in our spare time
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night
All night
All night
All night
We go on and on an on an on an on
Never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on an on an on an on
never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
Sun is out while I'm walking home
My head's up in the clouds
Trying to get myself to bed
But I really don't know how
And no, she don't know what I do in my spare time
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night
All night
All night
All night
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
We go on and on an on an on an on
Never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on an on an on an on
Never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
Was what I was waiting for
Oh my days what have I done
She saw me sneaking out the door
Been wasting all my time
Watching my youth slip away
This surely is a crime
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night
All night
All night
All night
Never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on an on an on an on
never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
My head's up in the clouds
Trying to get myself to bed
But I really don't know how
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night
All night
All night
All night
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
When I Get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sun sets
Never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on an on an on an on
Never knowing where we gonna end up in the morning

I guess it is about sleep-walking... Doing something all night and the next day not remembering whatever the hell you did and where you are!
But it can also have different meanings as suggested by the lyrics... Maybe it's about a man is cheating but that point of view isn't really clear in the whole song... So yeah, it' sleep walking
I wager the song is about his youth. His desire to sneaking out and party and his mothers perception of his life.
(As hes sneaking out the front door.. He was thinking/feeling:)
Wakin’ up in someone else’s bed, Was what I was waitin’ for (Hes been waiting all dayz to get some nookie, but then he notices his mom (apathetically?) watching him)
Oh my days what have I done, She saw me sneaking out the door
(He feels guilt/shame for being caught)
What have I been waiting for, Been wasting all my time Watchin’ my youth slip away Surely is a crime
(Despite the initial guilt, he feels as if hes been wasting his life up until this point. So nvm mom, He should have gone out more often/sooner. Not enjoying life while your young and free of the burdens of job/family etc - cant be right! He decides)
And no, she don’t know what we do in our spare time No she don’t know that we’ve been up all night All night, all night, all night (On his way to the party, mom doesn't really know/want to know? what hes doing when he goes out or how long hes out)
Chorus (He describes the party mindset. Party is going on)
Sun is up while I'm walkin’ home, (Its over, he's partied all night) But my heads up in the clouds (drugs? hangover? post party-high? thrill of getting laid?) Trying to get my self to bed But I really don’t know how, (can't relax after.. it seems, the great time he had)
And no, she .... All night, all night, all night (Thoughts over breakfast? He again thinks about how his mom can't imagine what he really gets up to.. and all he can think about is the next time hes out)
...
When I get myself home to my bedroom, I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets (He wishes to skip the chore of daily life for the thrills after dusk)
Maybe he's secretly bragging about his extramarital affair with his "other wife". The one his current wife never had a clue about. Maybe this guy is a real piece of shit?
