When the morning came I was up before first light,
And your bed was made, must have got out sometime last night.
And my heartbeat started pounding out a rhythm in my brain,
A voice from deep inside said "you've got to be insane,
Everyone knows how this old story goes"
So I got in that taxi, drank my conscience away.
If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start living, out with the old, I'm on the up,
Must be the good life
I went to your friends house begged you to open the door,
With your hands on your hips you spoke while I sat down on that floor
The dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink,
Don't look so superior when you give your opinion,
Don't think I don't know how you act on your own,
Just who are all those names on your cell phone anyway?
If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start living, out with the old, I'm on the up,
Must be the good life
You're a cool breeze in the setting sun,
New Year's, The 4th, wrapped into one,
You make me want to be someone that you could look up to
If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start living, out with the old, I'm on the up,
Must be the good life,
Come on get love,
Come on feed it
Come on try
Come on now what are you waiting for?

Great song, like the fact that it's up-beat, very radio-friendly :)

I'm pretty sure some of these lyrics are off, yeah its upbeat and i think that's a good thing. Very nice song!
I looked up this song because I could not, for the life of me, understand what he was saying in the chorus. I still don't think it makes sense after reading the lyrics. But yea, it's a good song :)
