Song lyrics

Send "Work" ringtones to your cell

If you only once would let me 
Only just one time 
Then be happy with the consequence 
With whatever's gonna happen tonight 

Don't think we're not serious 
When's it ever not? 
The love we make is give and its take 
I'm game to play along 

All I can say 
I shouldn't say 
Can we take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 

All the best DJ's are saving 
Their slowest song for last 
When the dance is through it's me and you 
C'mon would it really be so bad? 

The things we think might be the same 
But I won't fight for more 
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve 
Count on that for sure 

All I can say 
I shouldn't say 
Can we take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
You wanna take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
Yeah we still have time. 

Can't say I was never wrong 
But some blame rests on you 
Work and play they're never ok 
To mix the way we do 

All I can say 
I shouldn't say 
Can we take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
You wanna take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
Yeah we still have time.

8 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal As previously said, many many many many many times this is a good song I read one noter say it summed up their high school experience i agree but again, so many people can. my favorite lines of this song are "can't say i was never wrong but some blame rests on you work and play; they're never ok to mix the way we do " the balance of 'work and play' ..,on a literal AND metaphorical level, is so fragile... this song displays it so wonderfully the whole concept of "get out of this place while we still have time" is so romantic in that everyone has time it doesnt mean time before the world ends or before time runs out and everyone freezes in the current.. but i think it means "time" as in...while we still enjoy spending time together...before time ruins the special feelings (love, thoughts..ehat have you) that we share. its a broad spectrum, but thats how i analyze it enough from me, im going to go listen to it again ~Haleigh
