The Cab - Stand Up lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 and all my dreams were keeping me from sleeping Cause there's something so fun being young and being dumb Cause you're not afraid of feeling [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Yeah, when they knock you down, down, down Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up) Stand up (stand up) Everybody go Oh, oh Everybody go Oh, oh [Verse 2] 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 showing 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Yeah, when they knock you down, down, down Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up) Stand up (stand up) Everybody go Oh, oh Everybody go Oh, oh [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Yeah, when they knock you down, down, down Kid, you gotta stand up (stand up) Stand up (stand up) Everybody go Oh, oh Kid, you gotta stand up Oh, oh Kid, you gotta stand up Oh, oh Kid, you gotta stand up Oh, oh (Stand up!
