The Up-Downs

Well these days roll by on their sameness wheel

Yeah the sun goes down

And the neighbors do their cheers

I think maybe I'll call Jesse for a bit

Go for a walk in the hills and hang up

When the service is shit

Yah I know

It's just the

Up down

Up down

Up-downs

Yeah yeah

So I'm drowning in a sea of self-pity and regret

Then on my cell phone I make plans

With a face I've never met

Now I'm speeding downtown

Past the homeless camps

And it's five more minutes

'Till I'm with her at last

What a world

It's just the

Up down

Up down

Up-downs

Just the

Up down

Up down

Up-downs

Yeah yeah

Do you ride the waves

Like they're one big weight

Or do you surf them all for play?

Some see the years as gold

Some see them blue

I get dressed and pace my place

In search of something new

I'm in the prime of my life

But there's nowhere to go

So I dim the lights low

While stars shine and put on a show

Yeah

It's just the

Up down

Up down

Up-downs

Just the

Up down

Up down

Up down

(Whoah)

Up down

Up down

Up-downs

Just the

Up down

Up down

Up-downs

Yeah yeah
