The Cab - Stand Up lyrics

rate me

They had tongues like guns

I had nowhere to run

Yeah, this world can get so lonely

Yeah, the paper and pen were my two best friends

'Cause the sad songs understood me

The irony that all my dreams were keeping me from sleeping

'Cause there's something so fun in being young and being dumb

'Cause you're not afraid of feeling

Yeah, all of my demons are kicking and screaming, but I'll never leave them behind

Yeah, maybe I'm crazy, but don't try to save me

'Cause I've never felt so alive

Yeah, when they knock you down, down, down

Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up)

Yeah, when they gotcha down, down, down

Gotta make your own luck (own luck), own luck (own luck)

So, tell me I'm outta my mind

Give me a sign

Take it one step at a time

I know it's gonna be fine

Open your eyes

Shut up and give it a try

When they knock you down, down, down

Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up)

Everybody go

Ohhhh, ohhhhh

(x2)

They had eyes like knives

I had nowhere to hide

Yeah, this world can cut you open

But all the scars, they prove

That I fought my way through

So I always keep 'em showin'

'Cause sanity is suicide

And crazy are the legends

But, yeah, I'd rather have fun

Being young and being dumb

Than be saved a spot in heaven

Yeah, all of my demons are kickin' and screamin'

But I'll never leave them behind

Yeah, maybe I'm crazy, but don't try to save me

'Cuz I've never felt so alive

Yeah, when they knock you down, down, down

Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up)

Yeah, when they gotcha down, down, down

Gotta make your own luck (own luck), own luck (own luck)

So, tell me I'm outta my mind

Give me a sign

Take it one step at a time

I know it's gonna be fine

Open your eyes

Shut up and give it a try

When they knock you down, down, down

Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up)

Everybody go

Ohhhh, ohhhhh

(x2)

Yeah, all of my demons are kickin' and screamin'

But I'll never leave them behind

Yeah, maybe I'm crazy

But don't try to save me

'Cause I've never felt so alive

Yeah, when they knock you down, down, down

Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up)

Yeah, when they gotcha down, down, down

Gotta make your own luck (own luck), own luck (own luck)

So, tell me I'm outta my mind

Give me a sign

Take it one step at a time

I know it's gonna be fine

Open your eyes

Shut up and give it a try

When they knock you down, down, down

Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up)

Everybody go

Ohhhh, ohhhhh

Kid, you gotta stand up

Ohhhh, ohhhhh

Kid, you gotta stand up

Ohhhh, ohhhhh

Kid, you gotta stand up

Ohhhh, ohhhhh (Stand up! Stand up!)

Kid, you gotta stand up

Ohhhh, ohhhhh (Stand up! Stand up!)

Kid, you gotta stand up
