Getting Up and Leaving Lyrics

My life is changing
And I'm feeling blue
The things I wished for
Have come true

Woah...
Stop!
I really really wanna go back
Back to where I belong

Now I'm getting up and leaving
I'm leaving home
Now I'm getting up and leaving
I wanna go home

Don't write no music
Don't read no books
Don't call my baby
On the phone

Woah...
Stop!
I really really wanna go back
Back to where I came from
Stop!
I really really wanna go back
Back to where I belong

Now I'm getting up and leaving
I'm leaving home
Now I'm getting up and leaving
I wanna go home

Now I'm getting up
Now I'm getting up
Now I'm getting up and leaving
(Now I'm getting up)
(Now I'm getting up)
Now I'm leaving

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.

He's talking about a time where it felt like home. But he blew it, and now he really has to go to his real home.

He's trying to erase and forget something

One of the saddest weezer songs by far. It’s about missing what you had and wanting to return to your “home.” When you felt safe and supported. And it’s his fault that he is away from home. “The things I wished for have come true.”
