‘Long Night’ is all about a relationship coming to an end, because of what seems to be a drunken kiss, and Jayden wants to continue the relationship, and therefore begins to reflect on it all in attempt to make the other person understand. The song is all about regret and reconsideration.
[Verse 1]
Won't you turn around and please look at me
For everything we are, everything we've been
I promise I'll be good if you stay with me
But everything we are, it just went away
With the slide of a tongue and a sour taste
What I can recall, I can't explain
[Chorus 1]
But I, remember the nights when you'd lie with me
Where we'd talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep
I wake up in your arms and I'd feel at ease
[Post Chorus]
It's gonna be a long night
[Verse 2]
I still have your shirt in my dresser drawer
The one with the stripes that you liked in store
Everything has changed, I wanted more
Oh how its raining, oh how the water falls
Into the safe things, we tried to set in stone
I can't replace you, I can't escape you now
[Chorus 2]
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
Where we'd talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep
I wake up in your arms and I'd feel at ease
But now it's just me and I lie awake
And I toss and I turn and I see your face
When I wake from a dream it won't go away
[Post Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna be a long night
[Interlude]
[Chorus 2]
But I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
Where we'd talk and we'd touch and we'd fall asleep
I wake up in your arms and I'd feel at ease
But now its just me and I lie awake
And I toss and I turn and I see your face
When I wake from a dream it won't go away
[Outro]
Oh, it's gonna be a long night
