Weekend
Upstate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do the same old thing
Be just by ourselves
Don't need no one else
Just go on through the week
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
That's my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning
We could just stay in
Do the same old thing
Be just by ourselves
Don't need no one else
Go on through the week
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That's my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning
We could just stay in
Live our lives in sin
We could touch ourselves
Or be touched by someone else
Go on through the week (goin' on through the week)
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That's my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That's my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning

They could just stay in, repeating the same old activities, or they could go out and explore the world together.
The lyrics in the chorus express the desire to take the beloved out and show them a good time on the weekend. However, the singer imparts that he has to be responsible and go to work in the morning. This signifies that although the singer wants to live in the moment, he has to maintain a balance between his personal life and his professional life. The lyrics also imply that the weekend is a time when one can let loose and be themselves without any judgment.
Overall, the song "Weekend" is an ode to enjoying each other's company and expressing love during a break from the daily grind. The lyrics playfully oscillate between romantic and humorous and urge the listener to take a break and enjoy the weekend with their loved ones.
