Falling Upward

You fall down, lift yourself up
Fall behind, well then you catch up
A falling out will leave you torn up
But falling helps us to grow up
You fell for it, got your hopes up
Fell in love and when you broke up
You fell apart, well pick your parts up
So we can start to get you fixed up

Love is a fire
It’ll burn you no matter how beautiful
But don’t tame the heart’s desire
’Cause it’s a piece of you, a piece of me,
A piece in this whole damn eternity
So keep playing with fire, never put out the spark
Without it life is dark

Your chest falls just to raise up
One foot falls, the other lifts up
And now it’s Fall, still no one shows up
No arrows fall, no cupids fly up
So waterfalls swell your eyes up
Your chin falls, you wanna throw up
You fall apart, well pick your parts up
You broke your heart, let’s glue it back up

Loneliness is a lake
That’s so calm, so still, so lifeless
And to swim will make you ache
It’ll leave you shivering and quivering
And wondering, “Where’s my wedding ring?”
So don’t drown in your sorrows, just let life unfold
The water won’t always be so cold

Yeah, keep playing with fire, never put out the spark
Without it life is dark
