For The Night Lyrics

Tell me what you're running from
Where'd you think you're gonna hide
Even if it's all gone wrong, that's just life
I've been searching for too long
Something I can't seem to find
It's getting hard to carry on with you on my mind

Wasting all my time away
Playing all the games to play
But I can't find a way to make it right

Take me down and show me how to live again
If only for the night
Shake me up, get underneath my skin and make me right
Make me right
If only for the night

You've been trying to make it shine
But I've been turning down the lights
You think that I've been running blind
And I think you're right
Everybody seems to say
You don't have to givе it all away
When everything you thought was lost
It comеs back someday

Wasting all my time away
Playing all the games to play
But I can't find a way to make it right

Take me down and show me how to live again
If only for the night
Shake me up, get underneath my skin and make me right
Make me right

In the heat of the night
Give me reason to fight
In the heat of the night we'll come alive
Every man's got his price
It's an eye for an eye
Maybe just for tonight we're running blind

Take me down and show me how to live again
If only for the night
Shake me up, get underneath my skin and make me right
Make me right
If only for the night
If only for the night
If only for the night

What did The Amazons say about "For The Night"?

I’d actually written this six years ago as a song to pitch for Liam Gallagher’s first album. He didn’t fucking take it! When we got to this album, I was like, ‘This works. Let me change some lyrics. Let me make it work for this album.’ Lyrically, it starts off the final act of the album. It’s a super-vulnerable track. We wanted to do something really different, so we brought a pianist in and spent a lot of time building up these atmospheric-type synths and stuff, almost industrial sounds that shouldn’t work. A lot of David Bowie’s Heroes album was referenced on this.
