Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alarm on the phone again
Same stain on the ceiling fan
Half tank
Half a plan
Rent due
What’s new
Clock in
Keep your head down
Small talk in a small town
Laugh so you don’t break down
They can’t see right through you
[Chorus]
We wake up
We get up
Just to stay one step from losing it all
Paycheck
Paper cuts
Stand in line and watch the prices crawl
Can’t fill the cart all the way
Still we push it down that aisle every day
Yeah this feels like a rut
But don’t give up
Get up anyway (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Boss says “we’re a family”
Can’t spell it without “I” and “me”
Overtime comes tax free
For everyone but you
Loose change in a glass jar
Dreams parked in the driveway car
Too tired to reach that far
But something pulls you through
[Chorus]
We wake up
We get up
Just to stay one step from losing it all
Paycheck
Paper cuts
Stand in line and watch the prices crawl
Can’t fill the cart all the way
Still we push it down that aisle every day
Yeah this feels like a rut
But don’t give up
Get up anyway (oh, get up)
[Bridge]
One breath
One brick at a time
One “not today” in your mind
If the world won’t throw you a rope
You learn to climb on hope
[Chorus]
We wake up
We get up
Just to stay one step from losing it all
Paycheck
Paper cuts
Stand in line and watch the prices crawl
Can’t fill the cart all the way
Still we push it down that aisle every day
Yeah this feels like a rut
But don’t give up
Get up anyway
Don’t give up
Get up anyway
Style
raw alt-pop with male vocals over a gritty swung groovewarm bass and crunchy drums driving a mid-tempo march. verses stay dry and conversational with close-mic vocal and muted guitars; chorus lifts with bright synth padsoctave doublesand gang shouts on key phrases. brief bridge strips back to kick and claps before a finalbigger hook with stacked harmonies and a held last note into a quick fade.
Prompt
