Get On Your Feet
Show Me the Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, to tell the truth,
I'm a bit of a wreck
Thinkin' about those hands
Around the back of my neck

And, to say what i feel,
I miss what we were
So unbreakable
Back when we were invincible.

Get up on your feet
I'll take it to the floor
Oh, here we go
You're all i want and more.

Grab yourself a seat
Imagine what's in store
Oh, here we go
You're all i want and more.

Still got your picture by my bed
I found the perfect frame and place
To fall asleep, late at night
And wake up to your face

But over time it'll have to go
And even later be replaced.
I guess part of growing up is learning
Nothing that's golden ever stays

Get up on your feet

I'll take it to the floor
Oh, here we go
You're all i want and more.

Grab yourself a seat
And imagine what's in store
Oh, here we go
You're all i want and more..

And every time i hear you its still
Such a calming sound
I see you and i feel as if
I've lifted off the ground
I wake up every morning
Wishing all my dreams were real
Just promise, girl you'll speak your mind
And follow what you feel.

Get on your feet
I'll take it to the floor
Oh, here we go
You're all i want and more.

Grab yourself a seat
And imagine what's in store




Oh, here we go
You're all i want and more.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh, to tell the truth,
Honestly speaking,


I'm a bit of a wreck
I'm emotionally unstable


Thinkin' about those hands
When I remember about those hands


Around the back of my neck
That were once around my neck


And, to say what i feel,
To articulate my feelings,


I miss what we were
I miss the old us


So unbreakable
When we were so strong together


Back when we were invincible.
During the time we felt unbeatable


Get up on your feet
Stand up and start moving


I'll take it to the floor
I'll lead the way


Oh, here we go
Let's get started


You're all i want and more.
You're everything I desire and more


Grab yourself a seat
Take your place and relax


Imagine what's in store
Think about what the future holds


Still got your picture by my bed
Your picture is still beside my bed


I found the perfect frame and place
I carefully chose its frame and spot


To fall asleep, late at night
So that I can sleep well at night


And wake up to your face
And wake up to see your lovely face


But over time it'll have to go
Eventually, I'll have to remove it


And even later be replaced.
And it'll be replaced by something else


I guess part of growing up is learning
I suppose that growing up means realizing


Nothing that's golden ever stays
That nothing lasts forever


And every time i hear you its still
You still have the same effect on me


Such a calming sound
You have a soothing voice


I see you and i feel as if
You make me feel like


I've lifted off the ground
I feel like I'm floating


I wake up every morning
Every morning, I wake up


Wishing all my dreams were real
Hoping that my dreams will come true


Just promise, girl you'll speak your mind
Just make me one promise; speak your thoughts


And follow what you feel.
And go with your instincts.


Get on your feet
Get up and move


I'll take it to the floor
I'll guide you and we'll dance


Oh, here we go
Let's start


You're all i want and more.
You're everything I want and more


Grab yourself a seat
Take a break and sit down


And imagine what's in store
Think about what the future holds


Oh, here we go
Let's start


You're all i want and more.
You're everything I want and more
