Get Up Lyrics

Wish someone would
Write me a song
Or tell me a story
So I don't need to worry
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somebody old
To watch over me
I need a little time
So I don't have to hurry

Oh, you say it all

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
But
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation

I wish someone
Would answer
The phone
Stop leaving me
Hanging on
I'm feeling
Like a little ship
Out on the ocean
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somewhere
To hold the frustration
I need a little cause
For celebration

Oh, you say it all

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation

Growing up
Checking notes
So you know
Just
Just which way to go

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You've just gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta gotta

Oh, you say it all

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Get Up lyrics by Travis

This is such a melancholy album when you listen to the lyrics. Even this song, which sounds really upbeat, is about being depressed, which seems to be what every song on Ode to J. Smith is about
