Live It Up Lyrics

Live It Up up I
Live it up up I
Live it up up I

A thousand people stood in line
To hear a couple words of mine
Afraid I would miss a beat
And everyone is watching me
I don't know why I'm still afraid
It's not like it was yesterday
I'm the one stopping me
From all the I want to be

It's ridiculous
The stars are inconspicuous
I told myself this can't be how I think
It's irrational
It seems so supernatural
I'm happy every after all I've seen

I'm unstoppable
I drop kick impossible
I live it up, live it up, up I
I live it up, live it up, up I
I break down the walls
I back hand and smash em all
I live it up, live it up, up I
I live it up, live it up, up I

Live it up, up I
Live it up, up I

Don't know why my stomach drops
Like jumping off a mountain top
I used to be fearless when, I had my safety net
Wake up my heart is beating fast
'Cause I ain't got no strings attached
Free to go anywhere, everywhere
It's just that I don't know where

It's ridiculous
There thoughts are inconspicuous
I told myself this can't be how I think
It's irrational
It seems so supernatural
I'm happy every after all I've seen

I'm unstoppable
I drop kick impossible
I live it up, live it up, up I
Live it up, live it up, up I
I break down the walls
I back up, smashing ball
I live it up, live it up, up I
Live it up, live it up, up I

Live it up, up I
Live it up, up I

No I'm not afraid
No I'm not afraid
Live it up, up I (No I'm not afraid)
No, yeah, yeah

I'm unstoppable
I drop kick impossible
I live it up, live it up, up I
Live it up, live it up, up I
I break down the walls
I back hand and smash em all
I live it up, live it up, up I
I live it up, live it up, up I

Live it up, live it up baby
Live it up, live it up baby
Live it up, live it up baby
Live it up, live it up baby
Live it up, live it up baby
Live it up, live it up baby
Live it up, live it up baby

Live It Up Song Chart

Colbie Caillat wrote this song about her struggles to overcome stage fright, a fear that plagues her even after years of professionally performing.

A thousand people stood in line
To hear a couple words of mine
Afraid I would miss a beat
And everyone's watching me

"Yeah, it's still a struggle," she told ABC News Radio. "Like, every time I do it, it gets a little easier and a little better and I watch back, I'm like, 'Oh, OK, it wasn't as bad as I thought in my mind.' But no, it's still there. I think it'll be there forever, and that's just something I'm learning to accept."

The topic of stage fright is something that Caillat previously visited on her 2007 Coco track "One Fine Wire." Also the title of her sophomore album Breakthrough, was inspired by the need to overcome her fears and learn to love touring.

Caillat generally uses fairly sparse instrumentation on her tunes, so this song is a big departure as it is filled with countless instruments and sounds. She told Billboard magazine: "We wanted it to sound really huge and loud and strong, then having the lyrics be more vulnerable. I wrote ['Live It Up'] about my stage fright and how I've struggled with that my entire life. To me, it was a really fun balance having a song that sounds so different but lyrics that are just honestly what I'm going through."
