  • If you only once would let me
    Only just one time
    Then be happy with the consequence
    With whatever's gonna happen tonight

    Don't think we're not serious
    When's it ever not
    The love we make is give and it's take
    I'm game to play along

    All I can say, I shouldn't say
    Can we take a ride?
    Get out of this place while we still have time

    (Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh)
    (Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh)

    All the best DJs are saving their slowest song for last
    When the dance is through it's me and you
    Come on, would it really be so bad
    The things we think might be the same
    But I won't fight for more
    It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
    Count on that for sure

    All I can say, I shouldn't say
    Can we take a ride?
    Get out of this place while we still have time
    You want to take a ride?
    Get out of this place while we still have time
    We still have time

    (Oh oh, oh oh)
    (Oh oh, oh oh)
    (Oh oh, oh oh)
    (Oh oh, oh oh)

    Can't say I was never wrong
    But some blame rests on you
    Work and play they're never okay to mix
    The way we do

    All I can say, I shouldn't say
    Can we take a ride?
    Get out of this place while we still have time
    You want to take a ride?
    Get out of this place while we still have time
    We still have time

  • Kelsy from Rochester, Ny"Can we take a ride, get out of this place while we still have time." This is a beautiful song and one of my favorites. Whoever Jim Adkins wrote this for is a lucky, lucky girl.
  • Amanda from Sandusky, Ohi always thought it was about a relationship that is rough on the guy because they cant chill out and open up to eachother. they are too tense with things going on to appreciate the relationship.
  • Jill from Warren, Pathe vid for this song makes me cry...
  • Katie from Woodland Hills, CaI remember when I first bought the Futures CD... I listened to this song like, eighty times in the first week, cause I bought the CD for this song only... it means a lot to me and is a really heartfelt song.
