If We Want To
I could not ever see myself just packing up and taking off
Just to fall asleep and work again
I will not count my sleep hours, Let 'em all just have me all groggy and incoherent
I just met a crazy girl who's sane so I'm not about to leave just yet
Only and idiot would say "Right on, I'll see ya." Just to go home and think what coulda been
We've both finished ripping off all the labels on the pantry cans
We've all succeeded hurling the t.v. still plugged in down the front stairs
So why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
She could not ever think of leaving, everyone she knows is never all in the same place
The eight hours she spends hardly working, with this she would gladly
replace
All she wants is what we want: free time laughing with no designated end
She told me "I will not be a slave to time, time must learn to roll
with me."
So why not? Why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
Cause we don't care like they do
It cannot stop too many of us laughing each other on
We cannot stop we need more trouble before the night is gone
So why not? Why not? Why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
Cause we don't care like they do
So why not? Why not? Why not? Why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
Cause we don't care like they do
Yeah we can stay if we want to
Cause I'm gonna stay as long as you do
As long as you do [x4]
Just to fall asleep and work again
I will not count my sleep hours, Let 'em all just have me all groggy and incoherent
I just met a crazy girl who's sane so I'm not about to leave just yet
Only and idiot would say "Right on, I'll see ya." Just to go home and think what coulda been
We've both finished ripping off all the labels on the pantry cans
We've all succeeded hurling the t.v. still plugged in down the front stairs
So why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
She could not ever think of leaving, everyone she knows is never all in the same place
The eight hours she spends hardly working, with this she would gladly
replace
All she wants is what we want: free time laughing with no designated end
She told me "I will not be a slave to time, time must learn to roll
with me."
So why not? Why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
Cause we don't care like they do
It cannot stop too many of us laughing each other on
We cannot stop we need more trouble before the night is gone
So why not? Why not? Why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
Cause we don't care like they do
So why not? Why not? Why not? Why not?
[Chorus]
Cause we can stay if we want to
Cause we don't care like they do
Yeah we can stay if we want to
Cause I'm gonna stay as long as you do
As long as you do [x4]
