Tonight

The speaker is tired of another argument and wants the evening to end peacefully. The other person seems to be holding on to old grievances, while the speaker hopes they can stop repeating the same conflict. The mood moves between frustration and a genuine wish to make peace.

The “storm” that the speaker sees before the rain suggests they can sense an argument coming before it begins. “Chase the rainbow” may mean pursuing an ideal or wanting something difficult to achieve; the speaker feels it is too late tonight to settle that larger desire. Offering a “compromise” shows an attempt to meet halfway, even if the speaker admits to feeling unable to listen or make time.

The repeated question about whether they must “fight again” could express both weariness and a plea for change. The speaker asks the other person to approach with less defiance, but also recognizes their own limits. The wish to see the other person smile sounds affectionate, yet the lyrics do not explain what caused the conflict or whether either person is chiefly at fault. The ending leaves the hope for peace open rather than showing that the disagreement is resolved.
