Work It Out
Stella and the Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know what to do
(What to do, what to do)
You said we had it all
But I know something's wrong
And that ain't nothing new
Cuz I can see it in your eyes
And I know you've been telling lies
No matter what you do
I'm already black and blue
So just hit me with the truth
We can work it out
We can work it out
We can hold it down
'Til the love runs out
And we'll keep on riding
'Til it turns around
Cuz I know we're gonna work, work
Work it out, yeah
I don't know what to do
When you're not around
It's tearing me apart
And it's bringing me down
Cuz you make me
And you break me
When you run off into the night
If you love me, baby
Then come back to me
Cuz I just wanna make it right
We can work it out
We can work it out
We can hold it down
'Til the love runs out
And we'll keep on riding
'Til it turns around
Cuz I know we're gonna work, work
Work it out, yeah
And we'll keep on riding
'Til the sun goes down
Cuz I know we're gonna work, work
Work it out, yeah

The chorus of the song is a declaration of hope and determination. The singer is convinced that they can work through the difficulties and hold on to each other until the love runs out. They will continue to ride the ups and downs of the relationship until things turn around. It's a message of resilience and commitment to finding a way to make things work.
Overall, "Work It Out" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the efforts required to maintain them.
