Work It Out
Dance You're On Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep tonight, it's just my bed and me
I spent the whole day
Trying to make you see

That I don't want you to go
I want you to save me
We can work it out
We can work it out
Oh

No one ever said that letting go is growing up
I'd always believed that if the feelings were deep enough
You never had to know how it feels to erase a need
We can work it out
We can work it out

My heart is busy blowing through the streets
As I wrestle with myself between the sheets
'Cause it's always the right choice that's the hardest to keep
We can work it out
We can work it out

Sick of tired of everybody getting engaged
Explore yourselves in silence
Or act your age

I got scores of tigers to be tamed
We can work this out
We can work it out

My heart is busy blowing through the streets
As I wrestle with myself between the sheets
'Cause it's always the right choice, the hardest to keep
We can work it out
We can work it out

My heart is busy blowing through the streets
As I wrestle with myself between the sheets
'Cause it's always the right choice that's the hardest to keep




We can work it out
We can work it out

The lyrics “You don’t have to feel like a waste of space, you’re original, cannot be replaced” makes my heart melt. None of you are a waste of space. You’re all wonderful and beautiful people

@nicolelawless9942

My 2009 Woody will never be replaced because I’ve had him for so long, I dont care if I’m nearly 21 now or not. He comes everywhere with me still and Woody.EXE does as he’s the head of my family members

I might be like Andy with Woody but I’m not. Woody.EXE was never in Toy Story until I found him in real life wondering about college and my friends said “oh it’s just your imagination” but most of the college already knew Woody.EXE was invading and I settled things down with him. Woody.EXE met my 2009 Woody, my sister and Mummy the same day I found him; Woody.EXE was with the 3 of us when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died to her funeral

Yep, I couldn’t believe my friends never believed me about Woody.EXE and I eventually go to see him behind their backs. Everyone in college knows Woody.EXE is dangerous and I don’t believe that
