Justin Nozuka – After Tonight lyrics
There's something in your eyes
Is everything alright
You look up to the sky
You long for something more, darling
Give me your
right hand
I think I understand
Follow me and you will never have to wish again

I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
And I know if the love is alright
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight you don't have to look about the stars
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no, no...

Tell me how you feel
And if I'm getting near
I'll tell you where to steer
You tell me where to steer, da-da-b-da-darling
Way above the clouds
And high above the stars
Through the unknown black holes
No one knows where we are
Ba-but, return to earth and do it all over again

'Cause I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
And I know if the love is alright
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight you don't have to look about the stars

A-come away with me
Oh, fly away with me
Just for one night no one will ever know, no-no-no, darling
I will leave you satisfied
Forever past time
You don't have to hide
You're free to fly

I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
And I know if the love is alright
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight you don't have to look up at the stars

I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
And I know if the love is alright
You don't have to look up at the stars, no-no-no-no
I know by the end of tonight we're looking down upon them from heaven.

[Outro Freestyle]

    Although songs have different interpretation depending on the amount of thought put into it by each person, I think Justin's meanings are deeper than meets the eye, or ears in this case. The damsel in distress wants more than her life has to offer, so she wishes upon the stars for something better. Justin explains that with him her life won't be full of the hurt that she's been through. That she won't have to keep going through it all alone. That when it's all said and done she'll be the one that looks down at the people who are wishing upon her stars.

    To me id have to say this is talkin about wantin love from the person you longing for. Someone who youve loved and your just telling them love me and youll have no worries. Its just about saying love me chose me and I will make it work. I will make you wishes come true. Then it goes into talkin about. Ill tell you where to go (in the relationship) and youll tell me where to go. (meaning that its a give and take relationship) working out their problems together. Then starts to talk about saying pick me and we can "fly" together. Then saying if your with me your needs are and will be satisfied forever, just chose me and life will be good when you chose me.

    I think the song is trying to portray that he is going to stop the girl from wishing for a real love, because he'll give it to her. And he wont hurt her or leave your side. He'll do his best to satisfy her and keep her wishing for more. So after one night, he'll have her in love and he'll treat her right so she can stay in love.

    I think this song means like if you're his girl or a really close friend who is a girl that you can trust him like you can lean on him when you're in a sticky situation you can explain whats going on and he'll listen to you and give you advice and stuff.
    Basically being your rock you angel the go-to guy. Saying even if its like the smallest thing or the hugest thing you can get it off of your chest and he'll support whatever your decisions are.

    I love this song and justin nozuka is so hot. But I think this song means that he wants to show this girl that with him she wont have to look any further for love. They can take eachother to the ends of the earth and beyond and do it all over again. Also this song sounds a little sexual if you're the kind of person to interprete things that way. But anyway I love this song!

    I completely agree with carter. It talks about by the end of tonight you don't have to look up at the stars meaning that you don't have to search any longer for that perfect somebody, let me prove to you that it's me. And in the first verse it means is everything; let me show you that I'm the one. And in the second verse it talks about how it can be a you lead or I lead relationship and we'll soar above all others (we'll have the best relationship ever). In the third verse it means come with me and i'll show you the world. This song reminds me a little of the aladdin song.

    I really love this song. I think, although Justin more than likely had an idea or story behind "After Tonight", it is open enough to interpretation to mean something different to everyone who reads it. Like with any good piece of art or music, the "audience" should feel like they're looking through a window into the artist thoughts and feelings. If the piece of art is really well done, the audience will also see a window into their own thoughts and feelings. Whatever. The best thing about art (and for me music in particular) is that it means such different things to different people. The "window business" is just a brief two sentences attempting to summarize what I feel about art (Haahaa. If that were at all possible.). The reason why I love this song so much is because it is my ideal romance spoken by what sounds like my ideal guy. I hear him saying "I see there is something else that you want. I see that you're wishing but after tonight you won't have to wish anymore." The stars bit means both "You won't have to stare up at the sky and hope for anything more because you will have everything you want with me." and "If you want to look at the stars, my love will bring them down to you." Oh, and I can't forget to mention how delicious Justin Nozuka is. Haahaa. His being so attractive helps in my whole "melting process". Tee-hee. This song is beautiful. I felt it.
    P. S. Please excuse all the clichés in the paragraph above. Co:.

    The song means so much, and Justin sings it with so much passion. It's amazing. Even just reading the lyrics you can take so much from the song. I personaly think I haven't heard a song as good as this one come out in a while and I think it will be a while before you can find another artist like Justin. I hope that girl he's with realizes how amazing he truly is.
