Y T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't waste another minute
Been a fool before yeah I admit it
Realize that it's my time to quit it
I can't let my mistakes create my image
At the top and got knocked right off my feet
Hit the ground head on world crumbled on me
Suffocated feel the pressure now I can't breathe
Somebody come rescue me
I froze couldn't come out of this coma
Felt like my whole world was over
Felt like all I ever did was let you down
I froze couldn't come out of this coma
Felt like my whole world was over
Felt like all you ever did was let me down
I just wanna get right back on my feet
I'm tryna get right back on my feet
Doing better for you
Doing better for me
I just wanna get right back on my feet
And change who I used to be
Doing better for you
Y mejor por ti
The time is now I ain't getting younger
It's time to eat I can't with this hunger
Can I make it no need to wonder
I just can't wait any longer
I can do this I know I can
I can be a better man
All I need is to keep my head up
Keep my eyes on the prize and not let up
Life has this way and it shows us
It feels like I been carrying the weight
Of the world on my shoulders
And it's never over
The worlds getting colder
This boulder is crushing my soul
But I hold up
Stand up
If you want to change your life
Just put your hands up
We can change our life tonight
It's time to man up
Get to livin right
It's time to get ahold of our lives
I just wanna get right back on my feet
I'm tryna get right back on my feet
Doing better for you
Doing better for me
I just wanna get right back on my feet
And change who I used to be
Doing better for you
Y mejor por ti
I just wanna get back on my feet
Tryna put this all behind me
A little help is all that I need
I'm right here
Someone come find me
I just wanna get back on my feet
Tryna put this all behind me
A little help is all that I need
I'm right here please
Someone come find me
I'm tryna get back to the place where I was
It's my life I know I can change the outcome
Gonna start doing things right from now on
With a little bit of help I can move on
You need some help
I need some help
Lets help each other out
Getting so sick and tired
Of guessing and self doubt
But when I think I cant handle it
I can handle more
Cuz I just realized what I got
Who I'm fighting for
I just wanna get right back on my feet
I'm tryna get right back on my feet
Doing better for you
Doing better for me
I just wanna get right back on my feet
And change who I used to be




Doing better for you
Y mejor por ti

The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer feeling like they are barely holding on and can't bear the pain of losing someone.

The second verse is full of confusion and self-doubt. The singer feels like they are standing still while everyone else is moving forward. They question whether they are playing to win or just trying not to lose. They also reference the cards they were dealt, feeling like they got stuck with the worst possible hand.


The chorus is a plea for someone to rescue them. The singer wants someone to come save them from their pain and help them find their way out of the darkness. They don't want to be alone anymore.


The final verse brings a glimmer of hope, with the singer hearing a faint voice from another time that sounds like their own. They see shades of black and a twisted road, but they can't see the sky from where they are. They are faced with a choice: turn around or keep going forward. They decide to keep moving, despite being on the edge and feeling like they might slip and fall. They end the song with the same plea for someone to come rescue them.

Absolutely underrated song. Should have been a huge hit

Jb Langston

Unless you've seen these guys live you have no idea how good they are. Dave gave me shots from his wild turkey bottle. The whole band are great unassuming guys. I told Dave I was a fan from the yesterday and today era and he handed me his bottle. Damn, never forget it
