Go
Boys Like Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little hope that you just might find your way out of here.
Cause you've been hiding for days, wasted and wasting away,
But I got a little hope today you'll face your fears.
Yea I know it's not easy, I know that it's hard,
Follow the lights to this city.
Take a chance and be strong,
Or you could spend your whole life holding on,
Don't look back just go.
Take a breath move along,
Or you could spend your whole life holding on,
You could spend your whole life holding on.
Believe the tunnel can end, believe your body can mend,
Yea I know you could make it through cause I believe in you.
So lets go put up a fight, lets go make everything alright,
Go on and take a shot go give it all you got.
Oh yea I know it's not easy, I know that it's hard,
Know that it's not always pretty.
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong,
Or you could spend your whole life holding on,
Don't look back just go.
Take a breath move along,
Or you could spend your whole life holding on,
You could spend your whole life holding on.
Don't wanna wake up to the telephone ring,
Are you sitting down I need to tell you something,
Enough is enough you can stop waiting to breath,
And don't wait up for me.
Get up and go,
Take a chance and be strong,
You could spend your whole life holding on.
Don't look back just go,
Take a breath move along,
You could spend your whole life holding on.
Get up and go, take a chance and be strong,
Or you could spend your whole life holding on,
Don't look back just go.
Take a breath move along,
Or you could spend your whole life holding on,
You could spend your whole life holding on.
Don't spend your whole life holding on.
The lyrics to Boys Like Girls' song "Go" speak of hope and overcoming difficult situations. The singer encourages the listener to find the courage to face their fears and take a chance on change. The opening lines "Little change of the heart, little light in the dark" suggest a small glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark and difficult situation. The lyrics then go on to acknowledge that it's not easy but to "Follow the lights to this city" as a possible solution.
The chorus is a message of motivation and encourages the listener to take a chance and be strong. It highlights the danger of spending one's entire life holding on to fear and past traumas. The repetition of "Get up and go" and "Don't look back just go" emphasize the importance of taking action.
Later in the song, the lyrics touch on the idea of not waiting for others to make changes, but to take control of your own life. The line "Don't wait up for me" suggests the singer has made the decision to move on and not be held back by someone else's fear or inaction.
Overall, the lyrics to "Go" are about facing fears, taking chances, and not letting fear hold you back from living your best life.
