Stay Out Late (Graduate)
I must admit that I was a good girl growing up and I never really stayed out too late... then again I was always at work and a simple phone call saying "Mom, I'm at blah blah's house" would satisfy my parents. I never really did anything fun simply cause there's nothing to do in boring Pleasantville. But I know of a lot of people who are not happy having a curfew. This one's for all of you
Can I stay out late
Can I stay out late
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I look at night life in the street
I've been staying in for so long
Can I stay out late
To mom and dad talking down to me
Just let me have fun already
Extend curfew,or else you're going down
Can I stay out late
Time is passing we can't let go
The clock does not tick in slow mo
Extend curfew for a buck
Go on fade out before I get stuck
Talking to somebody like you
You don't live the days I go through
My life will live on long after I do
Can I stay out late
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I look at night life in the street
Won't die in the house I want to knock it all down
Can I stay out late
Window open, can I go
Yes I snuck out long ago
Cross my fingers, I don't know
Did they take you down below
Can I stay out late
Can I stay out late
Can I stay out late
Can I stay out late
Can I stay out late
Can I look at night life in the street
Can I look in faces that I meet
I'm not waiting here for time to tick
Will this song live on long after we do
