Lyrics to This Side Up

Yesterday, it rained so hard I thought the roof was gonna give

But now today’s so bright, just want to let it all in

And I did it on my own and I know who my real friends were

But there’s no one to blame when it’s all a game

You know what the rules are

From here on out it’s this side up!



It’s shuffled steps and shuffled decks and how they both fall

For me a taste at first and then always the pain that sooths

And it hit me and hit me and hit me, I never even cared at all

For what’s not remembered, though others did see

There was no memory for me

From here on out it’s this side up! [x2]



From here on out it’s this side up! [x4]



Yeah, oh boy, it feels like I got a new lease on life

I’ve opened a door as I opened my eyes, pulled out that knife

And it’s so different here, my head is clear and in a new frame

But I can’t forget my regrets, though there is no shame

For others it’s simply not the same

From here on out it’s this side up! [x2]



This side up!
