Get It Together
Midtown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you've been missing
And I've got a card to send you home
It says: Try to forget those good times
Maybe you never were mine
How has this pain helped you grow?
Because you've done so much with your life
To have to settle for
A need to feel
A need to try
A need to feel whole
Do you feel whole?
Maybe we'll see this through
If we get it together
Maybe I'll get to you
If you get it together
Take off your make up honey
Why don't you ever listen
I've got something I need to know
Cause I tried
Tried to forget your past crimes
But were you ever just mine
Was there something that I didn't show?
Because you've done so much with your life
To have to settle for
A need to feel
A need to try
A need to feel whole
Do you feel whole?
Maybe we'll see this through
If we get it together
Maybe I'll get to you
If you get it together
Go. Try.
Try to make yourself right
Go. Try.
To make this right
And move on with your life
Go. Try.
Try to make yourself right
Go. Try.
To make this right
And move on with your life
The lyrics of Midtown's song "Get It Together" are about a person who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The singer is trying to connect with someone who he had a romantic interest in, but who has been avoiding him. The song is addressed to this person and the singer asks them to take off their makeup, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for being vulnerable and honest about their true feelings. He tells them that he knows what they have been missing and gives them a card with a message encouraging them to forget the good times, suggesting that they were not as good as they seemed. He asks the person about how the pain of the past has helped them grow, implying that maybe they have been holding onto the pain for too long.
The chorus of the song offers a possibility for reconciliation if they both "get it together." The subject of the song is urged to try to make themselves right and move on with their life, which is a message of hope and encouragement. The song is ultimately about the struggle of moving on and finding closure after a relationship ends.

Take off your make up honey
Stop pretending to be something you're not
I know what you've been missing
I know your flaws and insecurities
And I've got a card to send you home
I have something that will make you face reality
It says: Try to forget those good times
Focus on moving on and creating new memories
Maybe you never were mine
Maybe we were never really together
How has this pain helped you grow?
Reflect on the lessons you've learned from your struggles
Because you've done so much with your life
You have accomplished a lot
To have to settle for
But you're not satisfied with what you have
A need to feel
You have an unfulfilled desire
A need to try
You want to make things better
A need to feel whole
You want to feel complete
Do you feel whole?
Have you achieved your goal?
Maybe we'll see this through
Maybe we can work through our issues

Why don't you ever listen
You ignore my advice and suggestions
I've got something I need to know
I have questions that need answers
Cause I tried
I made an effort to make things work
Tried to forget your past crimes
Tried to overlook your mistakes
But were you ever just mine
But were we ever really exclusive
Was there something that I didn't show?
Did I miss something that could have made a difference
Go. Try.
Take action
Try to make yourself right
Fix your issues
To make this right
So we can have a healthy relationship
And move on with your life
And focus on personal growth
Go. Try.
Take action
To make this right
So we can have a healthy relationship
And move on with your life
And focus on personal growth
