Discover the story of the song > Nightcall – London Grammar

The song is about the protagonist calling her partner during the night to confess her feelings for him. She wants to take him on a drive to show him where she has hidden something, but she assures him not to worry. The chorus talks about how there is something special and hard to explain inside her partner, and although people gossip about him, he is still the same to her. The bridge is a repetition of the protagonist telling her partner how she feels, and the song ends with her reiterating that she is giving him a nightcall to express her emotions.
