Get It Right
A:M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was one of the worst times
You lied right to my face
Oh the way that you stood there
You gave me a dead stare
The kind you cant erase
They crash and stumble
Just like we struggle
If we could have this one night over
We gotta get it right
We gotta get it right this time
Cause we were young and indestructible
(Gotta get it right this time)
With any luck we'll be unstoppable
(Gotta get it right this time)
And we could last forever
I remember the last time
More than all of the past times
And how you crawled away
You fought with a passion
Such over reaction
But you never fought to stay
When the angels break their wings
They crash and stumble
Just like we struggle
If we could have this one night over
We gotta get it right
We gotta get it right this time
Cause we were young and indestructible
(Gotta get it right this time)
With any luck we'll be unstoppable
(Gotta get it right this time)
And there's a chance for use tonight
And there's a chance to make it right
Cause we were young and indestructible
(Gotta get it right this time)
With any luck we'll be unstoppable
(Gotta get it right this time)
And we could last forever

The refrain repeats the desire to "get it right," suggesting that the singer has learned from their past mistakes and wishes they could have a chance to do things differently. The lines "Cause we were young and indestructible / With any luck we'll be unstoppable / And we could last forever" express a feeling of invincibility that the couple may have once felt, but also hint at a sense of regret over lost potential.
