lyrics

Let's get it started, up in here.
'Cause you know I've got an act for letting you go.
Let's get it started in here,
'Cause tomorrow, I'll be gone.

Don't you move you lips, just
Let me say what I need you to hear.
It's just a matter of time,
I'll have you eating out of my hands.

Don't you know, (don't you know)
The way you shake, it makes me feel alive?
The way that things are goin' tonight,
I'm almost sure that you'll be mine.

Let's get it started, up in here.
'Cause you know I've got an act for letting you go.
Let's get it started in here,
'Cause tomorrow, I'll be gone.

Girl, you've got a weakness,
And nobody knows it but me.
Through your playful innocence,
I can see the truth now.

So just let, (so just let!)
Your guard down and follow me.
The way you're looking at me tonight,
Lets me know that I'll be alright.

Let's get it started, up in here.
'Cause you know I've got an act for letting you go.
Let's get it started in here,
'Cause tomorrow, I'll be gone.

(Did you think, I was sincere when I promised forever?)
When you woke up,
All that remains was the memory of me
And the empty, cold side of your bed.

Let's get it started, up in here.
'Cause you know I've got an act for letting you go.
Let's get it started in here,
'Cause tomorrow, I'll be gone.

Let's get it started, up in here. (Did you think, I was sincere)
'Cause you know I've got an act for letting you go. (when I promised forever?)
Let's get it started in here, (when you woke up)
'Cause tomorrow, I'll be gone. (you were alone)
I'll be gone

about

City Lights Columbus, Ohio

Plain and simple, it's pop punk the way it should be. No gimmicks, no scene-cred. Just ultra-catchy songs with enough energy to crowd surf you around the world twice. See you in the pit.
