Description

This song features James on lead vocals. James says: “The chorus for PYHU came to me in the shower. My hands, ironically, were up rubbing shampoo into my hair halfway through a shower, when suddenly 11-year-old-punky-gentle-loser-middle-school James reached out from the past and made me write these words. An hour later, I had the guitar line, melody, lyrics, and a brand new song about growing up on my hands."

Lyrics

I never had the right pair of jeans And my Payless kicks weren't always clean Couldn't break it down or play it tough Just a kid in class, wasn't that enough Just a kid in class wasn't that enough Got kicked around, but I'm older now Put your hands Up if you've ever had to laugh it off Turn and shrug your shoulders, put your hands Up if you're nuts and the party's loud, Say "nobody's gonna make me take 'em down," put 'em Up for the nights when you're all alone in a crowd And you've got nothing to go home to If you're dreaming of love Put your hands up Never figured out what the cool boys knew Made them look so tall, like they had a clue Like they'd seen it all by age 13 Couldn't get the girl, so I quit the scene Couldn't get the girl, so I quit the scene If you're dorky and lame and tired of names Put your hands Up if you've ever had to laugh it off Turn and shrug your shoulders, put your hands Up if you're nuts and the party's loud, Say "nobody's gonna make me take 'em down," put 'em Up for the nights when you're all alone in a crowd And you've got nothing to go home to If you're dreaming of love Put your hands up We'll keep our heads high when we see them They didn't need us, it's their loss Growing up's bitter sweet But you'll forgive and forget when you're their boss If you've never had the right pair of jeans And your payless kicks aren't always clean If you can't break dance or play it tough Touch the sky with me, yeah that's enough Touch the sky with me Put your hands up If you've ever had to laugh it off Turn and shrug your shoulders, put your hands Up if you're nuts, wave them all around, Nobody's ever gonna make you take them down," put 'em Up for the nights when you're all alone in a crowd And you've got nothing to go home to If you're dreaming of love Put your hands up Put your hands up Put your hands up Put your hands up
