On the podcast SongExploder McMorrow says the song is about “the idea of growing up and moving and change.” The narrator, having reached adulthood and thus realized that his time is finite (‘get low’), feels pulled in different directions as to how he should live his life.

Get Low Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heard you're getting married (Get low)
Everybody say (Get low)
Greatest man alive (Get low)
I've been told (I could never show, I could never show)
Bought yourselves a diamond (Get low)
Finally getting paid (Get low)
Buying people's silence (Get low)
They're afraid (I could never show, I could never show)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Constant threat of violence, it works
It can get you so far
End up feeling worse, it's cold
Then you're left with no one
[Chorus]
I love the way your heart had no rules
Loving what your heart becomes
Even when you smile, you're still cruel
Loving what your heart becomes
Remember when my hands, they turned blue
Loving what your heart becomes
I love the way you hang with no fruit
Loving what your heart becomes
[Post-Chorus]
What your heart becomes
What your heart becomes
[Verse 2]
How'd we get invited? (Get low)
Out here in L.A. (Get low)
Trying to be the man you need (Get low)
Every day (I could never show, I could never show)
Thought I'd write a novel (Get low)
Didn't like the weight (Get low)
It's hard to stay inspired (Get low)
And stay awake (I could never show, I could never show)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And struggling in darkness, it works
It can get you so far
But digging in the dirt, it gets old
Then you're left with no one
[Chorus]
I love the way your heart had no rules
Loving what your heart becomes
Even when you smile, you're still cruel
Loving what your heart becomes
Remember when my hands, they turned blue
Loving what your heart becomes
I love the way you hang with no fruit
Loving what your heart becomes
[Post-Chorus]
What your heart becomes
What your heart becomes
[Bridge]
Gather in a circle
Dropping to our knees
Praying for forgiveness from you
Begging please
Clapping like we mean it
And nothing's ever changing
Everything about it
Always stays the same
[Chorus]
I love the way your heart had no rules
Loving what your heart becomes
Even when you smile, you're still cruel
Loving what your heart becomes
Remember when my hands, they turned blue
Loving what your heart becomes
I love the way you hang with no fruit
Loving what your heart becomes
[Post-Chorus]
What your heart becomes
What your heart becomes
