Blake Lewis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go
Let the music bring us back to life
Something sure
Its the reason were moving away to the night

Its obvious
If we take too much ice-cream
We may just fall over the edge

Its dangerous if we just not listen to our heart
We might be next

So dont stop that record play
Put that needle on
Turn it up a little louder
Play your favourite song

On and on
We wont waste another moment
Its our time

Here we go
Let the music bring us back to life
Something sure
Its the reason were moving away to the night

Leave your bag on the wall
Leave your feeling at the door
Let your heart take over the night

Here we go
Let the music bring us back to life

Something sure
Its the reason were moving away to the night

It's a reminder that while it's important to let loose and have fun, there's a limit to how much we should allow ourselves to get carried away. The song stresses that we should follow our hearts, but at the same time, we should use our heads and be mindful of our actions.
