Lock up your doubt
Ride out!
All five are here for you
Fight now
Bury you hurt
Ride out!
How come it's always up to me and you?

Fear us!
We're not afraid of you!
Black out!

How come it's always up to me and you?
The lyrics to Ghost of a Thousand's song "Up to You" are a call to action for the listener to confront their doubts, fears, and hurts with the support and strength of the band's five members. The repeated refrain of "ride out" emphasizes the need to keep moving forward and facing challenges head-on. The band also asserts their power and defiance against those who may doubt or fear them, declaring "fear us, we're not afraid of you" and "riot, we're fighting here for you."
The repeated question "how come it's always up to me and you?" adds a hint of frustration and weariness to the song's overall message of perseverance. It implies that the burden of overcoming obstacles and fighting through difficulty always seems to fall upon the listener and the band, rather than being evenly shared. Despite this, the band's energy and encouragement throughout the song serves as a powerful motivator for the listener to keep moving forward and fighting for themselves.

LYRICS
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow
I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know
That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life (more than life)
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow (woo)
I need more time but time can't be borrowed
I'd leave it all behind if I could follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know
That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life (more than life), yeah
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy (oh)
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
Whoa
Na, na-na
More than life
Oh
So if I can't get close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
But I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
