Lift Me Up Lyrics

Do I need a drink?
I'm certain I can't walk
'cause I don't have no feeling in my fingers
slur my talk

And if I died today
don't cry on my grave
'cause I'll be laughing when they drop you down
into the grave

'Cause the party's spinning
I can't stand myself up
everybody is laughing at me throwing up
I don't need a rock
I'm trying to say I'm dying
lift me up

Hey, do I need that drink?
I don't think I can walk
'cause I don't have no feeling in my fingers
slur my talk

'Cause the party's over
I can't stand myself up
everybody is laughing at me throwing up
I don't need a rock
I'm trying to say I'm dying
lift me 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.

The central pun of the song is that in his wretched state the main character asks Joe (Pernice?) for a lift and Joe thinks he wants a ride.

This leads to the line, "I don't need a ride, I'm trying to say I'm dying. Lift me up."
