Get a Life Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

FEELIN LIKE A GOOD TIME TO QUIT
ILL NEVER HEAL BUT DONT I LOOK GOOD WITH THIS LIMP
HOW DO I KNOW THAT ANY OF THIS IS REAL

HOW DO I KNOW IF IT IS ANY GOOD
ILL NEVER TELL BUT IT IS AS CLOSE AS IT'S GONNA GET
IM CALLING IT NOW
IT IS WHAT IT IS

CUS IM ALL MESSED UP
WITH NO PLANS TO STOP
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
MAYBE IF I FIND SOME SPACE
MAYBE SHED MY BODY'S WEIGHT
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN ITS TIME TO SPLIT
WHEN THE BAND YOUR IN STARTS PLAYIN DIFFERENT TUNES
HOW DO I KNOW IF ILL EVER FEEL IT AGAIN

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN ITS TIME TO WAKE UP
CAN I EVEN WAKE UP
CUS NOW IM STUCK IN DREAM LAND

CUS IM ALL MESSED UP
WITH NO PLANS TO STOP
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
MAYBE IF I GOT SOME SPACE
MAYBE SHED MY BODIES WEIGHT
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN

NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN




NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN
NOTHINGS GONNA SLOW ME DOWN

They didn't notice you were crying
They didn't notice you were sad
They didn’t notice you were tired
They didn’t notice you were alone
They didn’t notice how attentive you were
They didn’t notice how sweet you actually are...
They didn’t notice how you actually try to make others smile



They did notice you failing grades
They did notice your unattractive
They did notice the mean side of you
They did notice all your mistakes
They did notice all you flaws
They did notice that you weren’t good enough for them.



But you stayed strong
You kept going on
You never gave up on hope
You never let them take you down
And you know they wasn’t good enough for you
And that’s what make you stronger



You aren’t ugly
You aren’t mean
You aren’t lazy
You aren’t a failure
You aren’t a mistake



You are beautiful
You are worth it
You do deserve everything
You are trying
You are smart
You do deserve to live

[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feelin'
This isn't our first time around
Past lives couldn't ever come between us
Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'

[Chorus]
Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feelin'
This isn't our first time around
Past lives couldn't ever come between us
Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feelin'
This isn't our first time around
Past lives couldn't ever come between us
Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
