Step It Up
Scientist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honey, unless I’m mistaken

I’ll bet I’ve guessed what you’re thinking

I know I should take my time

Make sure everything’s in line
Because once we start

You know I won’t give anything up

This could fall apart

And no I won’t give anything up

You could break my heart

And no I won’t give anything up

You know I’m never gonna give up on you

Although it’s been so exciting

I shouldn’t let this all blind me

I know I should take my time

Make sure everything’s in line

Because once we start

You know I won’t give anything up

This could fall apart

And no I won’t give anything up

You could break my heart

And no I won’t give anything up

You know I’m never gonna give up on you

If you’d say the word

This could be for good

Oh, I wish you would

Because once we start

You know I won’t give anything up

This could fall apart

And no I won’t give anything up

You could break my heart

And no I won’t give anything up





You know I’m never gonna give up on you

Line by Line Meaning

Is everybody in?
Are we all ready to start?


People don't fail me now
I need your support to make this happen


If no one wants to be up all night
Why bother going out if no one wants to have an exciting night


Whats the point in even going out
It's pointless to go out if we're not going to enjoy ourselves


No I can't keep it here if you don't want to stay
I can't make you stay if you don't want to be here


But its hard to believe you could just walk away
It's difficult for me to accept that you would leave just like that


And I know at some point that we'll all have to leave
We can't stay here forever


But we'd never go home if you left it up to me
If it was up to me, we would never want to leave


I refuse to take this apart
I won't let this fall apart


I refuse to break it up
I won't allow this to end


Call it consequence
We have to accept the outcome of our actions


Some kinda of comic crowd
There's something funny about us as a group


Where every wrong will right itself
Things will work themselves out eventually


And once you're gone you'll want to come right back
You'll regret leaving and will want to return


So lets not all do something we're gonna regret
Let's not make decisions we'll later regret


And just try to keep living the time we have left
Let's make the most of our time together


No I don't really care about how you're (leading my way)?
I don't care about who's leading as long as we're all having a good time


Cause we'd never go home if you left it up to
If it were up to me, we would never want to leave


This is conversation not worth having
This conversation is pointless and unproductive


Its only more time we're wasting
We're just wasting more time by talking about it


No matter what you say
It doesn't matter what you say


No matter what you say
It doesn't matter what anyone says


I refuse to take this apart
I won't let this fall apart


I refuse to break it up
I won't allow this to end
