Ingrid Michaelson
RKVC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There she was one day and she was speaking to me.
At least I swear she was but I guess it could be,
She doesn't know that I'm alive,
At least I know that I tried...

Get it together kid,
Get it together.
Get it together kid,
Get it together.

I-I, I'm in love,
For no good reason.
I-I, I'm in love...I'm in,
I'm in love with Ingrid Michaelson.

I heard her song on the radio and on the TV,
Pretty Little Liars, Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy.
And does she know that every time,
"The Way I Am" makes me cry?

Get it together kid,
Get it together.
Get it together kid,
Get it together.

I-I, I'm in love,
For no good reason.
I-I, I'm in love...I'm in,
I'm in love with Ingrid Michaelson.

Get it together kid,
Get it together. (She doesn't know)
Get it together kid,
Get it together. (That I'm alive)
Get it together kid,
Get it together. (She doesn't know)
Get it together kid,
Get it together. (That I'm alive)

I-I, I'm in love,
For no good reason.
I-I, I'm in love...I'm in,
I'm in love with Ingrid Michaelson.





I'm in love with Ingrid Michaelson.
I'm in love with Ingrid Michaelson.

He realizes that she doesn't know that he exists, but he is still trying to get her attention. He asks himself to get it together and stop living in his own fantasies. He has fallen in love with Ingrid Michaelson for no good reason, perhaps because of her songs that he has heard on the radio or on TV shows that he watches. Her song, "The Way I Am" makes him cry, and he wonders if she's aware of the impact she has on his emotions. The repeated plea to 'get it together' suggests that the singer is aware that his infatuation may be irrational and he is working on moving on.


The song lyrics conjure an image of a hopeless romantic who is just trying to find love but is met with repeated disappointment. The focus of the song isn't just on his crush, but on how he is trying to improve himself by getting over her obsession. It is a relatable feeling that many people can connect with. RKVC has used an emotional and catchy hook to give voice to the raw emotions of someone who is in love with a celebrity they have never met.

This has a They Might Be Giants/ Barenaked Ladies vibe to it. I love it!

Thanks! So glad you liked it!

Dusk Dawns

It wasn't the song that got her guys, it was those sexy dance moves πŸ™ƒ

Tip: moves should "hit" in the dance on the same count as a clap. That 1 and 3 challenge shoulda been much easier for you two πŸ˜‚
