Up & Down & Back Again

Come and rescue me

In the water deep

Careful now, don't lose your aim

The road ahead is clear again

I haven't found it yet

You drift away so slow

In the ebb and flow

So I landed on my feet

The steadiness is bittersweet

It feels the same when you're pushed

Out and away and into the crush

Of all the hidden pleasures you find

What you're looking for

I hope that you remember that pride

Comes before a fall

I can barely see

Up and down and back again

Despite what you believe

I keep away from trouble

If who I am today

A sign of where I'm going

I'm ready to embrace

You recreate the scene of everywhere you've been

You overcome the dreaded curse

A symptom of the universe

It feels the same when you're pushed

Out and away and into the crush

Of all the hidden pleasures you find

What you're looking for

I hope that you remember that pride

Comes before a fall

I can barely see

Up and down and back again

Despite what you believe

I keep away from trouble

If who I am today

A sign of where I'm going

I'm ready to embrace

If everybody knows just who you are

When your walk on role become a major part

Have you ever attempted to be yourself?

When everybody wants you to be someone else

Oh, you wanna see the things you tried to set free

Better let go of what let's them be

Have you ever attempted to be yourself?

When everybody wants you to be someone else

Up and down and back again

Going up and down and back again
