Scott Joseph Anderson, Craig Leetch - Get Up, Get Out Lyrics

Listen up!
When the thieves call, we're not home
Leave the lights on and hide out on the patio
In plain sight
Like animals washed up on the killing field
It's not what you know, it's who you know
Let the thoughts commence into a steady flow
Until the last person here unchecked really gotta go
And you will see it in their eyes and behind their tired smile
Forever giving up on whatever youthful wanderlust
Still torments the subconscious
Promises of a remedy still are yet to reach me
Protecting us from a waterfall of dust and fleeting words
It's all about the remedy - nothing can unsettle me
But these isolated folks keep stepping up
You can't build a city wall with no trust, yet
Here we stand

Get up, get up
I know you feel it
Get out, get out
I know you need it
Too bad, too bad
Nothing can please me
But going outside when the river's uneasy

Nobody's ever been so close to me
And I don't know how to feel
How to feel
How to feel
The final show when you never made it to the first one
It falls apart in exactly the way you'd expect
But after years of neglect and minimum contact
I'm travelling again despite the lost length
And I'm writing everything down
In the order it falls out of my mouth
For better or for worse
I guess I can't take that step but
Despite that (Here we stand)

Get up, get up
I know you feel it
Get out, get out
I know you need it
Too bad, too bad
Nothing can please me
But going outside when the river's uneasy
Get up, get up
I know you feel it
Get out, get out
I know you need it

This town has gone now to the dogs
And I can't stray
I'm nothing without you
The path I'm on just makes no sense
And I won't stray
From walking in your shoes
