What Do We Do With The Rest Of The Night
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To float us outta this place
And through the smoke I can barely see ya'
But I've memorized your face
We've danced almost every dance
Lasted longer then the band
Oh but we're not through
It's just me and you
What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night
We can take this party down to the river
Lay a blanket on the grass
Watch the stars tangle up together
While the night slides past
We can do what we want to do
Roll away that book of rules
We'll make our own
Hey nothing's carved in stone
What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night
What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night
What do we do with the rest of the night

Line by Line Meaning
We've been through enough tequila
We've had a lot to drink
To float us outta this place
We've had so much to drink that we're ready to leave this place
And through the smoke I can barely see ya'
The air is hazy and it's hard to see you clearly
But I've memorized your face
I've studied your features enough to remember them even in this blurry state
We've danced almost every dance
We've been dancing a lot tonight
Lasted longer then the band
We've danced for so long that the band has finished playing
Oh but we're not through
But we're not done yet
It's just me and you
It's just the two of us now
What do we do with the rest of the night
What should we do now that we have the whole night ahead of us?
We got all of this time on our hands
We have a lot of time to spend together
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
We have plenty of time to do whatever we want before morning arrives
Between a woman and a man
When two people are together romantically
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
We don't need to think about anything beyond this moment
We can take this party down to the river
We can continue the celebration near the water
Lay a blanket on the grass
We can set up a comfortable spot
Watch the stars tangle up together
We can enjoy the beauty of the night sky
While the night slides past
As we wait for the sun to come up
We can do what we want to do
We have the freedom to choose our activities
Roll away that book of rules
There are no expectations or limitations to what we can do
We'll make our own
We'll create our own experience
Hey nothing's carved in stone
We can be flexible and spontaneous
What do we do with the rest of the night
We still need to decide what to do with the remaining time we have
We got all of this time on our hands
We have plenty of time to make the most of our night together
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
We have the opportunity to do a lot before morning
Between a woman and a man
When two people are together romantically
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
We can live in the moment without worrying about what lies ahead
But what do we do with the rest of the night
We still need to come up with a plan for the remaining hours of our night together
