Work
Jimmy Eat World
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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 it's take I'm game to play along All I can say I should say Can we take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time The best DJs are saving their slowest song for last When the dance is through it's me and you Come on, would it really be so bad The things we think may 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 should have said Can we take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time You want to take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time We still have time Can't say I was never wrong But some blame rests on you Work and play they're never okay to mix The way we do All I can say I should have said Can we take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time You want to take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time We still have time
