The Get Up Kids

The Get Up Kids are an American alternative rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. Formed in 1995, the band was a major player in the mid-90's emo scene, otherwise known as the "second wave" of emo music. As they gained prominence, they began touring with bands such as Green Day and Weezer before becoming headliners themselves, eventually embarking on international tours of Japan and Europe. They founded Heroes & Villains Records, an imprint of the successful indie rock label Vagrant Records. While the imprint was started to release albums by The Get Up Kids, it served as a launching pad for several side-projects such as The New Amsterdams and Reggie and the Full Effect. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons! 

Sometimes these fantasies come true, 
And now the whole thing misses me. 
Held down by fishing wire and glue, 
To be the best we couldn't be. 

Up on the roof with the whole world at our feet
Is this everything you thought it'd be? 
What you waited for religiously, 
Just know I wouldn't hate you if you tried. 

Old times make heroes out of fools, 
Now the whole thing misses me. 
Right at the breaking point you knew, 
This is the best you'd never be. 

You lied. 
Decide 
To fight. (??) 
Try. 
You might decide it's right. 

Just know I wouldn't trade you for the world. 
Is this everything you thought it'd be? 
The best things in the industry, 
Just know I wouldn't hate you if you tried
