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! (2x)
From here on out it's this side up! (4x)
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! (2x)
This side up!
