"Stay Up and Go Out" by Shani blue (me)

February's entry (for the bring the song challenge). woo! this one is a more lighthearted one about partyin' the night away with all my loves.


i can dance my feet all over this town
but i can't get anywhere on my own
there's too many people for this car
she's sittin' on his lap, I'm squished in the middle
its cold with your cigarette out the window
red car, Detroit - brick house, chalked up porch
loud sound, good sized crowd - i'm awkward at parties but i don't mind now

i don't wanna go home yet - i'm stretchin this day out for the keeping
i don't wanna go home yet, wait up!

the radiator is humming summer and talking crickets
when i ask they laugh and say no
tell me springs 30 miles away, the winds in other places
but inside we know its summer - all green and bored and too extensive
but inside we know its summer - all green and bored and too extensive

i don't wanna go to bed yet, i'm stretching' this day out for the keeping
i don't wanna go to bed yet - stay up

stay up and go out!
stay up with me!

my hands are cold
the street is cold
these legs are cold
but we're so alive - try and convince us otherwise!!!

i don't wanna go to bed yet,
i'm stretching' this day out for the keeping




i don't wanna go to bed yet - stay up! (stretchin' this day out for the keeping)

Oooh!

Missed this most excellent song. Caroline's comment about it having such a wonderful sense of place is right on target. And musically, it's a stunner. Sign me up.

You never sent me the chords, did you ;p I'm watching it again so that must mean I really do love it & need to cover it!

[shanifawni]

I WOULD LOVE IF YOU COVERED IT.

I still love this song, Shani. Would you mind if I covered it sometime?
