Get Up Lyrics

This place is not quite what it seems
Or anything that I was told it'd be
New York, you know you make my heart skip
In my dreams, I make it in to Vegas

Seattle hits me every time
I can't get Chicago off my mind
New Jersey taught me how to let go
And I've learned it's all that I need to know

In this moment, we're connected
If we fall, we fall together

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now
Let's go, let's go
Get up, get up
Make my heartbeat pickup
Get up, get up
Be-be-be-beating to the rhythm

I spill my heart from coast to coast
Fall in love with everyone I know
Sometimes it isn't where you're going
It's who you're with

In this moment, we're conneted
If we fall, we fall together

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now
Let's go, let's go

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now
Let's go, let's go (x2)

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now

I'd Hate to Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About

Three Cheers for Five Years

This place is not quite what it seems
Or anything that I was told it'd be
New York, you know you make my heart skip
In my dreams, I make it in to Vegas

Seattle hits me every time
I can't get Chicago off my mind
New Jersey taught me how to let go
And I've learned it's all that I need to know

In this moment, we're connected
If we fall, we fall together

I spill my heart from coast to coast
Fall in love with everyone I know
Sometimes it isn't where you're going
It's who you're with

In this moment, we're conneted
If we fall, we fall together

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now
Let's go, let's go

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now
Let's go, let's go (x2)

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East Coast, West Coast
Show me what you got now

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.

This song obviously seems to be about being on the road and touring and the different experiences that he has had in different states.

Im sure the states are used as metaphors. So each state he mentions would be a previous relationship with a girl

haha i find the references to thier old songs funny "In my dreams, I make it in to Vegas"-jamie all over "New Jersey taught me how to let go"-jersey "This place is not quite what it seems"-(possibly) you be the anchor... and maybe "I can't get Chicago off my mind" could possibly be an allusion to the fact that some of the band members came from the band A Kid Named Chicago... then again i could be overthinking it...

this song is definatly about his different relationships throughout his life so far. "New Jersey taught me how to let go" is in referance to their song jersey in which he is getting over a girl. "In My dreans i make it into vegas" is talking about the girl in jamie all over....and so on. The meaning behing this song is really deep.

i really doubt it's about the girl/state references...those songs were written by jason lancaster, who left the band waayy before this album.
