Lyrics:
I don't need company in the company of you
I don't need love 'cause your love will do
And I've got you, and you've got me
And that's, that’s all you need
I don't need air, no I don't need to breathe
I don't need rest, I don't have time to sleep
I've got you, and you've got me
And that's, that’s all you need
When I get up, so do you
When you get up, I sleep right through
And on the road, I sleep alone
And I can't wait until I'm home
'Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you, and you've got me
And that's, that’s all we need

Trivia and Quotes:
“I have a song called When I Get Up that I actually wrote in bed. One day, not feeling very good and laying around, my girlfriend and I were just hanging out, and I never played guitar in front of her, never wrote any songs in front of her, we just weren't like that. I pulled out my guitar and started fucking around, so I started writing, ‘When I get up’ and made up a chorus line, and she's like, ‘Hey, that's really good! Hold on!’ She got up and got a piece of paper and a pen, and she wrote it down. I was like, ‘Oh my God, that's so cute.’” - Tegan in 2008
