Listen to Gotta Be Tonight

[gogonutz]

It was on the radio in Canada.
listen here

lyrics below:

Gotta keep your head up and move along, move along
Gotta keep your head calm and carry on, carry on

Gotta keep your head up and move along, move along
Gotta keep your head calm and carry on, carry on
Gotta keep your brights on, cruise along, cruise along
Gotta keep your head up and move along, move along

(Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep on moving along)

We're driving all night long
Chasing miles and breaking dawn
We gotta take a chance while we're still young
It's gotta be tonight, it's gotta be tonight

Gotta keep your head up and stay awake, stay awake
Gotta keep your head up and stay awake, stay awake
The road is rough, gonna be heartache, heartache
Gotta keep your head up and stay awake, stay awake

We're driving all night long
Chasing miles and breaking dawn
We gotta take a chance while we're still young
But it's gotta be tonight, it's gotta be tonight

Gotta keep your head up and move along, move along
Gotta keep your head calm and carry on, carry on
Gotta keep your brights on and cruise along, cruise along
Gotta keep your head up and move along, move along

We're driving all night long
Chasing miles and breaking dawn
We gotta take a chance while we're still young
But it's gotta be tonight, it's gotta be tonight
It's gotta be tonight, it's gotta be tonight.

(Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep on moving along, gotta keep your head up, gotta keep on moving along)

It's okay. If you hear the 90 second clip, you've heard the song basically.

[gogonutz]

Not a whole lot of variation, but I suppose the arrangement does lend itself to be played with for a live version with a lot of energy, so that kind of speaks for it.

I suppose if I were to listen to this in my teens I would interpret this song as one that encourages the listener to soldier on during dark times.

Now it just sounds like I need to keep awake while driving at night.

I love you Lifehouse, but lol what is happening? Excited at the prospect that we're only 5 days away though (still no leak!)

[LHfanMI]

sounds like "gotta keep your head *calm*" to me, but hard to say for sure

...I'm also really hoping that he's singing "breaking down" as opposed to "dawn."

From the clips out there, it seems like they've slipped in some weird pop culture lines that probably only stand out because of their recent connections. ie: Shades of Grey (Lady Day) & Breaking Dawn (Gotta Be Tonight).

I had breaking down first too, but dawn makes more sense.. and calm, I can hear now too! #thanks
