Stay the Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that we are upside down
So hold your tongue and hear me out
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind

[Pre-Chorus]
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind

[Chorus]
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?

[Drop]

[Chorus]
Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?

[Verse 2]
I am a fire, you're gasoline
Come pour yourself all over me
We'll let this place go down in flames
Only one more time

[Pre-Chorus]
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind

[Chorus]
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night? (When we get burned)
Doesn't mean we're bound for life (We never learn)
So, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?

[Bridge]
Night, night, night, night, night, night
Night, night, night, night, night, night
Night, night, night, night, night, night
Are you gonna stay the night?

[Drop]

[Chorus]
Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?

[Outro]
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Are you gonna stay the night?

What did Zedd say about "Stay the Night"?

Genius Answer

Zedd told MTV:

Although my music is electronic, it has a lot of influences from my past, which is all sorts of genres; I’ve been in a rock-metal band for a long time, and I still feel like, personally, I have a lot of influence from that. My classical influence, you can find spots here and there. I think [Hayley Williams and I] have a similar background, musically, and maybe that’s why it fits so well … I feel like a lot of other genres are in my music even though they’re not in the spotlight.
