Are You Up

A punk pop dance song (really) built on flirtation, wit, and playful danger.

Dedicated to two dear people we know all too well, living in the tension: love, adrenaline, or just one more night. Written fast, performed for a lifetime.

intro

“Hi... are you... up?”

chorus

We go down, the only way is up

Crash and burn, still light it up

Play it cool, but feel the rush

We go down, so we dress it up!

verse

I cash in, you add up

I drop hints, you crack up

You fall hard, I back up

We go down, then act up

You dream big, I wake up

Say “don’t go”, I make up

Call it love, call it lust

Call it art, then turn it up

chorus

We go down, the only way is up

No way out, so we dress it up

Hide the mess beneath the blush

We go down, the only way is up!

verse

The only way is up, or so they say

Up like the rent, up like cliché

Up like a post you made today

Just press your pain and scroll away

We’re up for grabs, we’re up for show

Up in the feed with nowhere to go

Up all night in the same old glow

Don’t ask why, just go with the flow

chorus

We go down, the only way is up

Crash and burn, still light it up

Say too much, then call it love

We go down, so we dress it up!

verse

I dressed wild, then turned up

Told your friend we might hook up

Danced on glass, then slipped up

Now they say I fucked up

Stole the mic and froze up

Kissed a stranger, close-up

Dropped the beat, then threw up

Guess I got a little too wound up

chorus

We go down, the only way is up

Crash and burn, still light it up

Say too much, then call it love

We go down, so we dress it up!

We go down, the only way is up

No way out, still dress it up

Make it pretty, make it hurt

We go down, the only way is up!

We go down, the only way is up

Crash and burn, still light it up

Say too much, then call it love

We go down, so we dress it up!

outro

“Hi, here’s HOTMAN. Keep it up.”
