I could not ever see myself just packing up and taking off   Just to fall asleep and work again   I will not count my sleep hours, Let 'em all just have me all groggy and incoherent   I just met a crazy girl who's sane so I'm not about to leave just yet   Only and idiot would say "Right on, I'll see ya." Just to go home and think what coulda been   We've both finished ripping off all the labels on the pantry cans   We've all succeeded hurling the t.v. still plugged in down the front stairs   So why not?      [Chorus]   Cause we can stay if we want to      She could not ever think of leaving, everyone she knows is never all in the same place   The eight hours she spends hardly working, with this she would gladly replace   All she wants is what we want: free time laughing with no designated end   She told me "I will not be a slave to time, time must learn to roll with me."   So why not? Why not?      [Chorus]   Cause we can stay if we want to   Cause we don't care like they do      It cannot stop too many of us laughing each other on   We cannot stop we need more trouble before the night is gone   So why not? Why not? Why not?      [Chorus]   Cause we can stay if we want to   Cause we don't care like they do      So why not? Why not? Why not? Why not?      [Chorus]   Cause we can stay if we want to   Cause we don't care like they do   Yeah we can stay if we want to   Cause I'm gonna stay as long as you do   As long as you do [x4]
