  • Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up

    So here I am
    Doing everything I can
    Holding on to what I am
    Pretending I'm a superman

    I'm trying to keep
    The ground on my feet
    It seems the world's falling down around me
    The nights are all long
    I'm singing this song
    To try and make the answers more than maybe

    And I'm so confused about what to do
    Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

    So here I am
    Growing older all the time
    Looking older all the time
    Feeling younger in my mind

    And here I am
    Doing everything I can
    Holding on to what I am
    Pretending I'm a superman

    I'm trying to sleep
    I lost count of sheep
    My mind is racing faster every minute
    What could I do more?
    Yeah, I'm really not sure
    I know I'm running circles but I can't quit

    And I'm so confused about what to do
    Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

    Controlling everything in sight
    Feeling weak, I don't feel right
    You're telling me I have to change
    Telling me to act my age
    But if all that I can do
    Is just sit and watch time go
    Then I'll have to say goodbye
    Life's too short to watch it fly
    So watch it fly

    So here I am
    Growing older all the time
    Looking older all the time
    Feeling younger in my mind

    But here I am
    Doing everything I can
    Holding on to what I am
    Pretending I'm a superman Writer/s: John Feldmann
