Come On
Embrace Your Purpose: Tegan and Sara's Anthem of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
You've got your lights turned
You have your attention drawn towards you.
So they can see you
Ensuring visibility for others to perceive you.
The very best of what
Showcasing the best aspects of yourself.
You've got to offer
Reveal the most valuable things you possess.
Tell them what your hands were made for
Express the purpose of your hands.
Tell them who your mouth was made for
Declare the intended recipient of your words.
You've got your profits
Highlighting material gains and intellectual pursuits.
And your mathematicians
Reference to those skilled in mathematical disciplines.
The vocal fuel of a generation
Describing the influential voices of a generation.
Tell me what my hands were made for
Inquire about the purpose of one's hands.
Tell me who my mouth was made for
Seek information about the intended audience of one's words.
And please don't be mad at me
Requesting not to be angered.
You'll get what you ask for
Assurance that one will receive what they request.
Come on, come on, come on
An invitation or encouragement to proceed.
So very close to what you had expected
Close to meeting expectations, making it challenging to stay balanced.
It makes it hard to keep my head up level
The difficulty in maintaining composure.
Tell me I'm what your hands were made for
Request to be identified as the purpose of someone's hands.
Tell me I'm who your mouth was made for
Desire to be recognized as the intended audience of someone's words.
And if you come down on me
Consequence if someone expresses disapproval or criticism.
Well you'll get what you ask for
Reiteration that one will receive what they request.
Come on, come on, come on
A repeated invitation or encouragement.
I, I want to get myself back
Expressing a desire to regain one's former self.
High I want to get myself back
An additional expression of the desire to restore oneself.
All of the things that you promised me
Referring to unfulfilled promises made by someone.
That you'd be
Addressing a commitment made by someone.
Now your hands are tired
Noting fatigue or weariness in the hands of the other person.
And all of the things that you promised me
Referring to unfulfilled promises made by someone.
That you'd need
Addressing a need expressed by someone.
Now my hands are tired
Expressing fatigue or weariness in one's own hands.
Come on, come on, come on
A repeated invitation or encouragement.
