  • Figuring out where I went wrong
    The script not followed, then was awfully long
    Too much pluck, too little of
    The acting right, not acting up
    I wore the world upon my back
    Though someone else could meet, pick up the slack
    Just because I could say
    It's my life, do things my way

    Now I'm looking up more than I look down
    The view's a whole lot better second time around
    Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
    I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

    Color a lot with a broader stroke
    The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
    Nowadays, I'm thinking 'bout
    Time is wasted looking back

    Now I'm looking up more than I look down
    The view's a whole lot better second time around
    Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
    I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

    You drop a bucket in a well
    It's dark and deep down there
    Crank the handle, bring it up
    The water, crystal clear

    I'm looking up more than I look down
    The view's a whole lot better second time around
    Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
    I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
    I'm looking up more than I look down
    The view's a whole lot better second time around
    Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
    I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

    Looking up, looking up
