Just Another Night

in AlbumBack to Earth

i remember standing here

right on this very same site

i was dying but for you

it was just another night

you once rocked me in your world

you bought me my first shoes

i was just another lonely child

oh and you were much amused

so you took me and you dressed me well

all for your friends to see

drained my body calmly till

there was no more left in me

then you walked out and you cut me cold

out on the road somewhere

why it happened well i don't know

and i still have no idea

but everybody needs a friend sometimes

you need a little help

and who knows maybe one day you'll seek mine

only time will tell

you once held me in your arms

you made me feel so right

i was flying but for you

it was just another night

but everybody needs a little help

whether or not you think you really do

everybody needs a little help

now the time has come for you

i ain't looking to fight no wars

no more talking trash

i'm not seeking any more pain

cause i've had enough of that

but don't you worry it's alright

if you should come around

any night or any day

The song narrates the experiences and emotions of someone who is constantly on the move, seeking purpose and companionship. It reflects on the solitude and the moments of connection that occur during travel, and how these experiences shape one's understanding of life. A particularly poignant moment in the song is when Stevens sings about feeling lost and looking for direction, capturing the universal quest for meaning and belonging.
