Livin' It
Stick Figure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa, yeah yeah, whoa whoa

I feel the love coming over you
It gets inside your head, then you know
And then then you know
I feel the power coming over you
It gets inside your head, then you know
And then then you know
Peaking around the corner and I know nobody's watching
I can see I'm all alone, I'm all alone, I'm all alone
I'm working on the night shift, smoke a little cigarette
A marijuana cigarette, I've got my girl on the phone, I'm all alone
I turn on the radio, I'm listening to the night show
They're playing my favorite song so I turn it up, and I sing along
I look at my watch, I'm almost off, it's almost three fifteen
I can't believe what a wonderful night it has turned out to be

I've been livin' it up, and livin' it out, it's the way I live my life
Sit back and relax and love and make yourself feel right
Livin' it, oh livin' it, oh livin' it, mhmm

I get home real late
I see no one's awoken
And I know I'm all alone, it's all I know, it's all I know
My girl is asleep, dreaming her dreams, and smiling at me
So happy I'm home, it's all I know
I walk in to my studio, step up to the microphone
And start to write this song, I just let it out, the words just come along
I got thoughts in my head, my baby's in bed, and music is there for me
I just want to write what a beautiful night it has turned out to be

I've been living it up, and living it out, it's the way I live my life
Sit back and relax and love and make yourself feel right
Every time I hear your voice, it puts a smile upon my face
I've got to carry on, got to get back to that place
And every time I hear that song, it brings a feeling deep inside
I never had no choice, you are the one that I was supposed to find





Oh oh, oh oh

I feel the love coming over you,
It gets inside your head then you know,
And then then you know
I feel the power coming over you
It gets inside your head then you know,
And then then you know

I'm working on the night shift, smoke another
A marijuana cigarette, I've got my girl on the phone, I'm all alone
I turn on the radio, I'm listening to the night show
They are playing my favorite song so I turn it up, and I sing along
I look at my watch I'm almost off it's almost 3:15

I've been living it up, and living it out, it's the way I live my life
Sit back an relax and love and make yourself feel right

And I know I am alone, its all I know, its all I know
My girl is asleep, dreaming her dreams, and smiling at me
So happy I'm home, it's all I know

And start to write this song. I just let it out, the words come along.
I got thoughts in my head, my baby's in bed, and music is there for me,
I just want to write what a beautiful night it has turned out to be.

I've been living it up, and living it out, it's the way I live my life

Through the night and day
Said oh, oh your crazy
Don't blame me
Just let that music play

Let me, come on little baby let it set you free
Come on let it hit your brain
With a little bit of love
And when there is nothing left
Time to get it off of your chest
You'll feel no pain
Let the music play
