Up
Olly Murs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought about you the other day
What the hell happened with you and me?
'Cause, oh, ain't no lovin' no more
You ain't as cool as you used to be
Closer to the mirror than you are to me
I said, oh, had to show you that door

Someday I hope we can fix it, 'cause I ain't too proud to try
Say hi to your friends, and if they ever ask you why
We don't talk

Know you gotta grow up
Ain't you sick of being immature?
Talkin' loud 'cause you insecure
You always turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, c'mon
Why you always gotta show off?
You're so offended, I already know
But when you hear this on the radio
You're gonna turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

'Cause it's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Now you said some stuff that you can't take back
How did you think that I would react?
'Cause you're, you must be out of your mind, no
How did we go straight from love to hate?
Now it's so deep that we can't be mates
I said, oh, we should give it some time

Someday I hope we can fix it, 'cause I ain't too proud to try
Say hi to your friends, and if they ever ask you why
We don't talk
Know you gotta grow up
Ain't you sick of being immature?
Talkin' loud 'cause you insecure
You always turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, c'mon
Why you always gotta show off?
You're so offended, I already know
But when you hear this on the radio
You're gonna turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

'Cause it's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Anytime you start it
You're growing up a little, darlin'
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Anytime you start it
You're growing up a little darlin'

Know you gotta grow up (know you gotta grow up)
Ain't you sick of being immature? (ain't you sick of being immature?)
Talkin' loud 'cause you insecure
You always turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, c'mon
Why you always gotta show off? (why you always gotta show off?)
You're so offended, I already know (you're so offended, I already know)
But when you hear this on the radio
You're gonna turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

'Cause it's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (anytime you start it)
(You're growing up a little darlin') 'cause it's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all about you-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (anytime you start it)
You're growing up a little darlin'

The first half of the song is written from the perspective of the singer who drew a broken heart on their lover's window pane and is now waiting for a response. They understand that the hurt won't go away quickly but want to hope that their love isn't over. The second half is sung from the viewpoint of the partner as they draw a question mark on a piece of paper and express their desire to turn back time to when things were better.

Lol that synchronised throwing though:
Demi: You ready?
Olly: Yeah it's raised in my hand.
Demi: Okay I've gotten it too. Don't smash it too hard or Mum'll wake up.
Olly: Alright. In 5..4..3..2..

Both vases crash.

Demi's mum: DEMI WHAT WAS THAT.
Olly: Quick, quick clean UP!

        TRADUÇAO: <3 <3 <3
                 
Eu desenhei um coração partido
Bem no parapeito de sua janela
Esperei por sua resposta
Aqui na chuva forte

Só respire contra o vidro
Me dê algum tipo de sinal
Eu sei que a dor não vai passar, é
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha

Eu nunca quis partir seu coração
Agora, não vou deixar este avião cair
Eu nunca quis te fazer chorar
Vou fazer tudo o que puder para fazer isso voar

Oh, você tem que se apegar
Se apegar ao que sente
Este sentimento é a melhor coisa
Realmente, a melhor coisa

Eu vou apostar em nós
Eu sei que nosso amor está seguindo
Na mesma direção
Para cima

Você é um ponto de interrogação
Será que sabe o que eu quero
Eu quero virar a bússola, é
Para onde costumava apontar

Então, vamos construir uma ponte
Do seu lado para o meu
Serei eu a atravessar
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha
Só me diga que não é o fim da linha

Eu nunca quis partir seu coração
Agora, não vou deixar este avião cair
Eu nunca quis te fazer chorar
Vou fazer tudo o que puder para fazer isso voar

Oh, você tem que se apegar
Se apegar ao que sente
Este sentimento é a melhor coisa
Realmente, a melhor coisa

Eu vou apostar em nós
Eu sei que nosso amor está seguindo
Na mesma direção
Para cima

Garota, eu sei que podemos escalar
Para onde costumávamos ficar
Sinto aqui, em meu coração
E o coloco em suas mãos

Bom, eu espero e oro
Que você entenderá
Se entender, tudo o que precisa dizer é

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Estou esperando por você
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Eu nunca quis partir seu coração
Agora, não vou deixar este avião cair
Eu nunca quis te fazer chorar
Vou fazer tudo o que puder para fazer isso voar

Oh, você tem que se apegar
Se apegar ao que sente
Este sentimento é a melhor coisa
Realmente, a melhor coisa

Eu vou apostar em nós
Eu sei que nosso amor está seguindo
Na mesma direção
Para cima
 SIMPLISMENTE PERFEITA <3 <3 <3
DEMI DIVA <3 ^-^
