Lyrics
get up
Encouragement to rise or stand up
ya gotta see the sunshine
Advising to appreciate positive aspects of life
it's better in the day time
Daytime is preferable, emphasizing positivity
so just open up your eyes and see itc'mon
Encouraging to open eyes and perceive the goodness
ya gotta lotta life to live
Highlighting the potential for a fulfilling life
ya gotta lotta love to give
Stressing the capacity to share love with others
even if it's just a buncha new age junk
Acknowledging the existence of unconventional beliefs
goodbye innocence
Expressing farewell to a state of innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
Questioning the loss of understanding in the world
..you went away
Referring to someone's departure
a rainy cloud has followed me around
Describing a persistently gloomy mood
so why do you have to go away so soon?
Questioning the abrupt departure and its impact
i know
Acknowledging challenges in life
it ain't a bowl of cheerios
Life is not always easy and joyful
we get a little weary-oh
Expressing weariness and eerie feelings
and there's nearly every kind of eery
Highlighting various unsettling sensations
go on
Encouraging to accept the reality of life
i know ya know the way it is
Acknowledging understanding of life's challenges
you're gonna have to learn to deal
Encouraging coping and adaptation
'cause there's no such thing as real unless there is
Questioning the concept of reality
goodbye innocence
Reiterating the departure from innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
Asking when the world became confusing
..you went away
Referring to the departure's impact
a rainy cloud has followed me around
Describing a lingering sense of melancholy
so why do you have to go away so soon?
Questioning the necessity of the departure
time's such a cunning thief
Describing time as a clever thief
steal your dreams
Stealing dreams and causing sorrow
cause you grief
Advising against worrying about the future
no sense in crying 'bout tomorrow
Encouraging resilience and standing firm
sometimes you just have got to stand there waving
Accepting the uncertainties of life
goodbye innocence
Repeating the farewell to innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
Reiterating confusion about the world
..you went away
Re-emphasizing the impact of the departure
a rainy cloud has followed me around
Repeating the description of a lingering cloud
so why do you have to go away so soon?
Questioning the abruptness of the departure
