[Verse 1]
You and me
We been hanging around for the longest time
I know when you're down
Know what you need to get you high
Top down
Like the wind through your hair on a summer's night
Outside
All of your fears, leaving them behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Here I come now
Baby, I'm speeding and red lights, I'll run
What I got, you need it
And I'll run to your side when your heart is bleeding
I'm coming to getcha, to getcha, to getcha, ooh

[Chorus]
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come to hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come I'mma hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
We're making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come to hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come I'mma hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
We're making the most of the night

[Verse 2]
Your eyes wide
Like you never seen the ocean, never seen the tides
No hope
Now you're seeing things that you'd lost sight of
Taking off
Got your hands in the air, and you're feeling alright
Gold mines glisten on the skin for you and I

[Pre-Chorus]
Here I come now
Baby, I'm speeding and red lights, I'll run
What I got, you need it
And I'll run to your side when your heart is bleeding
I'm coming to getcha, to getcha, to getcha, ooh

[Chorus]
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come to hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come I'mma hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
We're making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come to hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come I'mma hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
We're making the most of the night

[Bridge]
Now baby, take my hand now, don't you cry
I won't let you stay here, I won't let you hide
No more tears, don't waste another day
Another day
Go on and fight, don't lay down to die
Come on get up, you'll make it through okay
Come on get up, don't waste another day

[Chorus]
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come to hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come I'mma hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
We're making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come to hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
But here I come I'mma hijack you, hijack you
I'll love you while
We're making the most of the night

[Outro]
We're making the most of the night
We're making the most of the night

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
