“Stay The Night”, the second track on ¡Uno!, is about falling in love and holding onto that person for as long as possible. The song follows the classic pop-punk formula, filled with a little more warmth than other Green Day tracks, matching the sentiment of the lyrics.
[Verse 1]
Well, I ain't got much time, so I'll get to the point
Do you wanna share a ride and get the fuck out of this joint?
I've got an impulse so repulsive that it burns
I wanna break your heart until it makes your stomach churn
[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta know if you're the one that got away
Even though it was never meant to be
[Chorus]
Say you'll stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time
So stay the night, I don't wanna say goodbye
Say you'll stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time
So stay the night, I don't wanna say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Well, you're so sick and tired of feeling so alone
Well, I don't understand the point if you have to go home
So won't you stay and count the circles 'round my eyes?
And we can watch the stars until the sun begins to rise
[Pre-Chorus]
I got to know if you're the one that got away
Even though it was never meant to be
[Chorus]
Say, you'll stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time
So stay the night, I don't wanna say goodbye
Say, you'll stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time
So stay the night, I don't wanna say goodbye
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Tonight...
I got to know if you're the one that got away
Even though it was never meant to be
[Chorus]
Say, you'll stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time
So stay the night, I don't wanna say goodbye
Say, you'll stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time
So stay the night, I don't wanna say goodbye
