Night Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You mean that much to me
And it's hard to show

Gets hectic inside of me
When you go

Can I confess these things
To you
Well I don't know
Embedded in my chest
And it
Hurts to hold


I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hold my words, keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

[Chorus]
Night time
Sympathize
I've been working on
White lies
So I'll tell the truth
I'll give it up to you
And when the day comes
It will have all been fun
We'll talk about it soon
[Verse 2]
And I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam
Looking in from the dark
And I walk out in stormy weather
Hope my words keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

[Chorus]
Night time
Sympathize
I've been working on
White lies
So I'll tell the truth
I'll give it up to you
And when the day comes
It will have all been fun
We'll talk about it soon

Genius Annotation

‘Night Time’ is the second to last track on The xx’s debut album ‘xx’.

The song holds a very eerie aura to it and explores the troubles in a relationship based solely around sex and not emotional connection.
