[Verse 1]
You had to see it, had to be there, couldn't call
I spent the new year, oh, just thinkin' 'bout the fall
God broke my heart, but life ain't got any laws
Reached the border, now I'm climbin' up the walls
[Pre-Chorus]
And, baby, it's bittersweet to love someone but to watch them leave
You took the wind out of me and knocked me off my feet
[Chorus]
Get up, kid, don't give in
Waited your whole life for this
Get up, kid, swing and a miss
But life's around the bend
When the lights are on, but your heart ain't home
Get up, kid
Get up, kid
[Verse 2]
You won't believe it, but take a good look in my eyes
We spent the summer makin' love and gettin' high
God broke my heart, but life ain't got any laws
Reached the border, now I'm climbin' up the walls
[Pre-Chorus]
And, baby, it's bittersweet to love someone but to watch them leave
You took the wind out of me and knocked me off my feet
[Chorus]
Get up, kid, don't give in
Waited your whole life for this
Get up, kid, swing and a miss
But life's around the bend
When the lights are on, but your heart ain't home
Get up, kid
Get up, kid
[Bridge]
Some nights, I don't ever wanna live like this
But every day, in a way, I imagine
I have to die for you
Some nights, I don't ever wanna live like this
But every day, in a way, I imagine
I ought to die
[Outro]
When the lights are on, but your heart ain't home
Get up, kid, get up, kid
