Jeremy Abbott - Upward Lyrics

Sometimes you can't win for losing
Get back up despite the bruising
Sometimes a little puff is soothing
Stare at the city from my roof and
Dream

Sometimes I feel so alone
Call my mother on the old cell phone
Ask how my brothers are doing
Sometimes I just wanna go home

Mama made you strong hold your head up now
Don't worry sometimes you gonna fall down
The Angels all around and they gonna help you up they
Looking down you just gotta look up ya

If you pray at night just know that The heard
I know in this life, nothing is sure
Keep in touch with you heart, keep rhyming those words
Keep your eyes upward

When I was a boy I thought I saw the devil once
A Shadow on the wall that moved all by itself
I looked all around and thought I was by myself
But then a light came on and washed all the shadows out

Some days I feel like that again
It's a big world and so much is happening
Can't sleep lie awake and wait for the dawn
When you make the lights come on
Some days I can't win for losing
Pick myself up despite the bruising
Sometimes a little puff is soothing
Sit on my rooftop brooding

Put my wish down on the next falling star
Even though you sing along I feel like Your so far
(No one told me that life would be this hard)
I miss all of my friends that didn't make it this far
