Hedley – Hands Up Lyrics

Rock

Ahh-Yeah
Oh my God, something is wrong
I'm floatin' down a river where I don't belong
With out you
'Cause if I fall with out you
Now I see it's all clear to me
I could do a lot of things, but I could never be
With out you
'Cause if I fall with out you

And you pick me up when I am down
(Pick me up)
And you make me smile
So hands up, take it all away
If I got you then I'll be okay
I know, now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way

Ohhh-ohh
Oh my God, nothing is fine
I'll go a little crazy 'cause I'm losin' my mind
With out you
'Cause if I fall with out you
(If I fall)
Come what may all I gotta say
I could have a lot of fun, but I don't wanna play
With out you
'Cause if I fall with out you
(wooh!)

You pick me up when I am down
(Pick me up now)
And you make me smile

So hands up take it all away
If I got you then I'll be okay
I know, now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way
If I got you I like it

With out you
I don't got a reason
With out you
I don't got a soul
(I don't got a soul)
For all my days
I live to praise
You make me wanna
Scream and shout it out
It's all I gotta say

Ahhh-nahhh
Hands up
Take it all away
If I got you then I'll be ok
I know, now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way
Hands up
Take it all away
If I got you then I'll be ok
I know, now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way
If I got you then I'll be ok
If I got you I like it that way

    I'd be interested to know if anyone else thinks this song is written from a Christian perspective? It may not be, I was just wondering. Re-read the words and let me know!

    I think it is! Especially because of the lines - For all my days, I live to praise you and hands up take it all away if i got you then i'll be ok. Praise is a very religious word, you rarely hear it used referring to humans and only God can take away sin/thoughts/bad things - not humans. If you got God, you'll be ok! :)

    I definately think the singer is speaking about God in his life. But the beauty of it is if you are a believer or not, you can still relate to the words. If I listen to it thinking of a significant other, verse God, I feel it is more fitting referring to God. And much more powerful!

    After finding out it was a christian song it totally ruined it for me. Since there's no god why would he waste his talents on writing crap like that?
