Go Home, Get Down Lyrics

So that you're not alone
I wanna take you home with me
Well let's stay up all night
Or you can while I fall asleep

Don't ask I don't know
This is all, this is on
Don't tell me you don't know
I'll come back when I go
C'mon let's go home
You're my friend I want you to know
Don't tell me you don't know
I'll come back if you go

So if you tell me that you'll have me never leave me til I die
Why try?
But if we're living and we're happy and I come back when I go
You will know
(Repeat)

Don't ask I don't know
I'll come back when I go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i don't care what this song means, i just care that it sounds like a cube drawn on paper, and by that i mean you can't tell which side is forward. so sometimes you can't exactly tell whether the drum and bass

are in sync or

                         not.

"So if you tell me that you'll have me never leave me til I die Why try? But if we're living and we're happy and I come back when I go You will know "

It's my belief that this is the most important section of the song that really gives it most of it's meaning. My guess this song is basically about a one nite stand between old friends/lovers/what have ye. Anyways, the guy decides to go out for something to clear his head cause the girl is madly in love with him or some sappy jazz, but he's unsure of his own feelings. So he's basically telling her, "If I come back, you'll know my feelings."

I never said there was guitar. This song is played with the synth.

You're the clod.

I love this song, the lyrics are kind of obvious, there's two freinds (one guy one girl) one gets totally wasted and they go back to the guys place, and I think it's trying to say that the girl is crazy for the guy but i'm not so sure he likes her as much, that's what i think

I don't really see where you got the "friend gets wasted" part from. I guess that would explain the guy taking the girl home with him to kind of 'do her a favor' though.
