All the Way
Gasoline Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lonely heartbreaks pave the way
Last June I tried to warn you
Of the West Coast's evil ways
Downtown, your friends are drinking
Uptown, those whores are dancing
Somehow I know you're laughing
We go all the way
We go all the way
We go all or we don't go at all
Young girl, don't act so old
Dream big or else I won't wake up
Because there's those who can't
Who is, who goes
Seen sunsets spilled just like wine
Kiss your girl and I'll kiss mine
'Cause tonight we'll ride all night
We go all the way
We go all the way
We go all or we don't go at all
We go all the way
We go all the way
We go all or we don't go at all
We go, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Young girl, don't act so old
Dream big or else I won't wake up
Because there's those who can't
Is who goes
Singing young girl, don't act so old
Dream big or else I won't, I said wake up
Baby, won't you wake up?
I want to wake up
Baby, won't you wake up?
I want to wake up
Baby, won't you wake up?
I want to wake up
Baby, won't you wake up?
I want to wake up
Baby, won't you wake up?
Why don't you just wake up next to me?
'Cause I'm gone
We go all the way
We go all the way
We go all or we don't go at all
We go all the way
We go all the way
We go all or we don't go at all
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
