I Can Get Back Up Now Lyrics

(Max Bemis of Say Anything)

There was a time when I thought that I would never be
This close with anyone
A leather lesson and the harshest words
I was abused at ten under the hot pacific sun
There was the time I came to your side, it was 3 am
And you were begging me to die
Another year was all it took for you to forget
The best friend that always carried you

So why are you still saying I'm not when I already am?
You keep on kicking me down.
You keep on kicking me down.
Why are you still saying we won't when we already are?
You keep on kicking me down.
You keep on kicking me down.

Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane?
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane?

I used to love what I used to love
Moving on was a chore I was never quite ready for
They used to say I was a cautious man
It's been weeks since I looked both ways or gave a damn
There was the time I came to your side, it was 3 am
And you were begging me to die
Another year was all it took for you to forget
The best friend that always carried you

So why are you still saying I'm not when I already am?
You keep on kicking me down.
You keep on kicking me down.
Why are you still saying we won't when we already are?
You keep on kicking me down.
You keep on kicking me down.

Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
We're so young and insane, we're so young and insane.
Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
We're so young and insane, hey it's such a shame.

Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
We're so young and insane, we're so young and insane.
Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
We're so young and insane, hey it's such a shame.

Was there something I said?
Cause there sure as hell will be now.
Was there something I said to make you doubt
I could get back up?
Cause I can get back up.

Cause I can get back up.

Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
We're so young and insane, we're so young and insane.
Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?
We're so young and insane, hey it's such a shame.

Why are you still saying we won't when we already are?
Ain't it a shame to be so young and insane?
