Give It Up Lyrics
Well I made my way back down to the valley, right on past 83rd St. That's where we once belonged, but I'm gone, I swear I'm long gone.
(Chorus)
So give it up throw your hats in the air, and change just as they land, you're saying “We'll get out of here” but something tells me you're too scared to go.
So the stairs that you could climb are the ones you've left behind and your eyes light up when we talk about the past. God, I miss those songs we used to sing. Talking like getting away would be the greatest thing. Well me, I got out, and you singing to me like that's really gunna set this free.
(Chorus)
Like a ghost you've been haunting all these dusty old roads and old homes. The ones we swore we'd never go, never go. As for Joe, oh I've seen him around. Then there's Adam, he's afraid to go out. I don't blame him I just wanted to go out to eat. Then there's Mark, goddamn I wish him the best. We were kids back then as if we could progress. But sometimes I just can't sleep, thinking of everything we could have been.
(Chorus)
So give it up throw your hats in the air, and change just as they land, you're saying “We'll get out of here” but something tells me you're too scared to go.
So the stairs that you could climb are the ones you've left behind and your eyes light up when we talk about the past. God, I miss those songs we used to sing. Talking like getting away would be the greatest thing. Well me, I got out, and you singing to me like that's really gunna set this free.

thsi is not the same words as the acoustic version jsut so u wont all yell when u hear that version and call me the dumb gurl who doesnt know the lyrics haha this is the original one off of their site i got all the lyrics direcctly from thier site so they r all accurate
i am the dumb gurl, lol the lyrics r exactly the same
I love the format with all my heart. They rock my world. if you guys haven't heard them live you need to they will rock your socks off. and this song is one of my favorite it means alot right now because i'm about to graduate and this song is igsactly how its gonna be....
the acoustic version sounds much better than the regular version.. i kind of think the horns sound cheesy.
i wonder if he really means 83rd Ave but used street because it flows better? Nate and Sam used to always hang out at the Denny's at 83rd Ave and Bell
im glad i found the format, they are so good, and i hope they dont change or sell out. This song is about graduation, i think you all know that though cause its obvious
