Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Baby, baby let's get together
Honey, honey me and you
And do the things, oh, do the things
That we like to do
Oh, do a little dance, make a little love,
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Baby, babe I meet you
Same place, same time
Where we can, oh, get together
And ease up our mind
Oh, do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight, baby
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight, baby
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Honey, honey me and you
And do the things, oh, do the things
That we like to do
Oh, do a little dance, make a little love,
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Baby, babe I meet you
Same place, same time
Where we can, oh, get together
And ease up our mind
Oh, do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight, baby
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight, baby
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight, baby

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gosh... this song brings me so much sadness cause it always reminds me that scene on the Forrest Gump movie when Jenny is so cocaine-ized and lost in the 70s that she's about to jump off a building's balcony after leading a sad life of one night stands, drugs, rock n' roll and... emptiness. Look the scene up - extremely deep and strong.
This song pretty much explains itself...I freggin love it. Listen to it all the time.

Since’75, I thought the opening line was “…let’s live together…” Reminds me of moving in w my old GF..
