Get It Right
R.P.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've become one of the people who's hiding out in the woodwork
Sick of being tired and tired of doing the footwork
I've been living in a window
I've been locking my door
And I slept on the floor on folded clothes
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
When I withheld the rest, see I created a story
I wasn't strong, I was wrong
A thousand lies to make your skin crawl
While I was living alone you were trying to know me
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
This is my side of the story, baby see it like I see it
What if we want to get married, what if we file for divorce?
We're not living by accident
But we didn't choose how we were born
Love isn't mine to own but I've experienced phases
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
And become one of the people who's hiding out in the woodwork
Sick of being tired and tired of doing the footwork
I've been living in a window
I've been locking my door
And I slept on the floor on folded clothes
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
To get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes
The lyrics to R.P.S's song Get It Right speak to the idea that in order to learn and grow, one must not be afraid to make mistakes. The repetition of the phrase "to get it right you have to get it wrong sometimes" emphasizes this point, suggesting that sometimes failure is necessary in order to eventually succeed. The second verse, in particular, touches on the theme of withholding information and the consequences of doing so. The singer admits that they were wrong and created a false narrative, stating that they weren't strong enough to tell the full truth. This vulnerability adds depth to the song and reflects the idea that mistakes are a natural part of the human experience.
There is also a sense of isolation and loneliness in the lyrics. The singer describes themselves as "living in a window" and "locking [their] door," suggesting that they have become withdrawn and disconnected from others. However, the repetition of the idea that "we're not living by accident" and "love isn't mine to own but I've experienced phases" suggests that there is still hope for connection and growth. Overall, the lyrics convey the message that making mistakes and taking risks is necessary for personal growth and fulfillment, despite the potential for isolation and loneliness along the way.

Mistakes offer opportunities for growth and improvement
I've become one of the people who's hiding out in the woodwork
I have been avoiding responsibility and accountability
Sick of being tired and tired of doing the footwork
I am exhausted from putting in the necessary effort
I've been living in a window
I have been living my life for others to see, rather than being authentic
I've been locking my door
I have been isolating myself and not allowing others to come in
And I slept on the floor on folded clothes
I have been struggling to care for myself in the midst of my struggles
Decided which part of the truth was really important
I chose to only share certain details that would benefit me, rather than being fully honest
When I withheld the rest, see I created a story
By not sharing the whole truth, I allowed people to come to false conclusions
I wasn't strong, I was wrong
My actions were not admirable or ethical
A thousand lies to make your skin crawl
I have told countless falsehoods that were hurtful to others
While I was living alone you were trying to know me
While I was isolating myself, others were attempting to reach out and connect with me
This is my side of the story, baby see it like I see it
I am presenting my perspective, but it may not be the objective truth
What if we want to get married, what if we file for divorce?
There are unknown future possibilities that we must consider
We're not living by accident
Our lives are intentional and purposeful
But we didn't choose how we were born
We have no control over the circumstances of our birth and upbringing
Love isn't mine to own but I've experienced phases
I have been through various stages of romantic love, but it is not something I possess or control
