Up To You
Josh Auer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look around hear the sound of the silence
Feel the beat of your heart when it’s breaking down
See the town with the chuch bells ringing
All alone with the sun now beating down

Take it in or leave it behind
It’s up to you
Run away
Run away if you need to
Run away
It's up to you
Run away
Run away if you need to
Hide away
It’s up to you

Walk around hear the people laughing
When they’re up sure they’re up
But they must come down
See the world thru the eyes of the broken
And feel the pain of their words as you hit the ground

Take it in or leave it behind
It’s up to you
Up to you

Run away
Run away if you need to
Run away
Its up to you
Run away
Run away if you need to
Hide away
It’s up to you

Oh where did you go
You left in a hurry on your own
Well it’s too late to reason
It’s too late to make sense of it all

Run away
Run away if you need to
Run away
Its up to you
Run away
Run away if you need to
Hide away
It’s up to you
It’s up to you
It’s up to you






Look around hear the sound of the silence
Feel the beat of your heart with you’re breaking down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Josh Auer's song "Up to You" suggest a personal struggle and uncertainty. The song begins with the line "Look around, hear the sound of the silence," which implies that the singer is all alone and searching for clarity. He urges the listener to "take it in or leave it behind," indicating a choice must be made. The chorus repeats the phrases "run away if you need to" and "it's up to you," suggesting that the singer is lost and the listener must make their own choices to escape their problems.


The second verse delves deeper into the struggle of the singer, observing that the people around them may seem happy, but they too have struggles. He asks the listener to view the world through the eyes of those who are broken and empathize with their pain. The repetition of the line, "Run away, run away if you need to" implies the singer is still searching for an answer to their problems, reminding listeners that escape may be one solution, but not necessarily a complete one.


The final lines, "Oh, where did you go? You left in a hurry on your own. Well, it's too late to reason, It's too late to make sense of it all," suggest the singer has lost his own sense of direction and encourages listeners to make their own choices. Ultimately, the message is clear: the listener must choose their own path when faced with difficult decisions.


Line by Line Meaning

Look around hear the sound of the silence
Pay attention to the quietness around you


Feel the beat of your heart when it’s breaking down
Spend time focusing on your own emotions, even when you're feeling overwhelmed


See the town with the church bells ringing
Observe the world around you, even the small details


All alone with the sun now beating down
Be alone with your thoughts, and embrace the warmth of the sun


Take it in or leave it behind
Choose to accept or reject what you are experiencing


It’s up to you
You have the power to make your own decision


Run away
Escape from the situation if you need to


Run away if you need to
It's okay to leave a situation that is causing you harm or discomfort


Hide away
Find a place where you can feel safe and secure


Walk around hear the people laughing
Listen to those around you, even when they seem happy


When they’re up sure they’re up
People may seem happy and confident, but that can change


But they must come down
Everyone experiences highs and lows in life


See the world thru the eyes of the broken
Try to understand the perspective of those who have experienced pain or hardship


And feel the pain of their words as you hit the ground
Experience the hurt that comes with understanding others' struggles


Oh where did you go
Questioning where someone has disappeared to


You left in a hurry on your own
The person decided to leave quickly and without explanation


Well it’s too late to reason
It's impossible to make sense of the situation now


It’s too late to make sense of it all
The event has already happened and can't be undone

Heres a thought
Its all that weve got in the world
If we let it be
Were only as good as the fall

And heres a note
To say the words I couldnt say

Dear you
I say that youre the only one for me
Say that I will never ever leave
Dear you
I see the future growing old again
Settle down with no other girl in the world

Heres a thought
Youre all that Ive got in the world
If I let you go
Im only as good as the fall

Dear you
I say that youre the only one for me
Say that I will never ever leave
Dear you
I see the future growing old again
Settle down with no other girl in the world

Ooooo Aaaaaa
No other girl in the world

Dear you
I say that youre the only one for me
Say that I will never ever leave
Dear you
I see the future growing old again
Settle down with no other girl in the world

Sincerely
The one who gave his whole world for you
The one who gave his whole heart to you

Dear you
I see the future growing old again
Settle down with no other girl in the world
