Monday morning, word came down Five days to see it through I laid my plans, marked the ground To give it what was due But now the work is done The last weight's left my hands I can set the whole week down And leave it where it lands Tonight, I'll take time for me And let the hours unwind Five days belonged to someone else Tomorrow is mine You and me, same hall Same homework pile Same lunch tray split in half Same tired smile We know the jokes We know the looks We know that scared little pause Before the future hooks Why don’t we live it now? (live it now) Why don’t we take that road? Why don’t we make the most Of this one life we know? (we know) We’re right here So close So why don’t we go? Why don’t we go? (go go) Why don’t we go? The weight is gone, but for a while The ache will linger on I'll give the quiet time enough To tell me when it's gone And let the evening have its way Till the wear begins to mend There's time enough to gather back What five days came to spend If we miss one bus We catch the next If we get it wrong At least we tried our best No more "someday" No more "maybe" Just you and me Being brave, baby Why don’t we live it now? (live it now) Why don’t we take that road? Why don’t we make the most Of this one life we know? (we know) We’re right here So close So why don’t we go? Why don’t we go? (go go) Why don’t we go?
