Vacation
Get Up And Go
(Charlotte Caffey/Jane Wiedlin)
If you get up and walk away
Leave the past behind
Go ahead and take a ride
The words you say don't mean a thng
They fly right by my eyes
Lokin the mirror don't look at me
Maybe then you'll realize
CHORUS
So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow
I was on the inside
Looking out for you
But you're the one to make the change
There's nothing I can do
Now's the time for you to move
Actions shout out loud
So cut the talk and move your feet
Cuz words get lost in crowds
CHORUS
Quit talking
Start walking now
-------------------------------------------
The lyrics present the idea of moving on from the past and taking action towards a better future. The singer encourages the listener to "get up and go" if they are tired of moving slow, and to stop talking and start walking in order to make a change. The idea is that actions speak louder than words, and that it is up to the individual to make a change in their own life. The lyrics also suggest that sometimes it is better to leave the past behind and take a risk in order to find something new and possibly better.
The chorus reinforces this idea, with the repetition of "get up and go" as a call to action. The lyrics suggest that the listener is feeling stuck in their current situation and needs to make a change. The line "words get lost in crowds" reinforces the idea that talk is cheap, and that it is actions that truly make a difference.
The last line of the song, "quit talking, start walking now," is a powerful message that drives home the main theme of the song. The singer is telling the listener to stop making excuses and start taking action towards their goals.

If you get up and walk away
If you leave and move on from the past
Leave the past behind
Forget about the things that have already happened
Go ahead and take a ride
Explore new things and experiences
No telling what you'll find
You never know what opportunities might come your way
The words you say don't mean a thng
Your words are meaningless and have no impact
They fly right by my eyes
I am not affected nor influenced by your words

When you look at yourself, don't blame me for your problems
Maybe then you'll realize
Perhaps you'll finally see the truth
So get up and go
Take action and move forward
If you're so tired of moving slow
If you're frustrated with how slow things are progressing
I was on the inside
I knew what was really happening
Looking out for you
I was concerned about you
But you're the one to make the change
You are responsible for making a difference
There's nothing I can do
I cannot make you change
Now's the time for you to move
It's time for you to take action
Actions shout out loud
Your actions speak louder than words
So cut the talk and move your feet
Stop talking and start doing something
Cuz words get lost in crowds
Talking without taking action is meaningless
Quit talking
Stop talking
Start walking now
Start taking action and making a change
