| Yesterday
|
| Is not quite what it could’ve been
|
| As were most of all the days before
|
| But I swear today
|
| With every breath I’m breathing in
|
| I’ll be trying to make it so much more
|
| Cuz the scene it gets so horrible
|
| The history and what’s gone wrong
|
| And the hope of a new day
|
| Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)
|
| And though I’m finally catching onto it And now the past is just a conduit
|
| And the life that I have
|
| The end is where I’ll be Cuz I’m on the up and up
|
| I’m on the up and up And I haven’t given up Given up on what
|
| What I’ve gained from love
|
| And I’m on the up and up
|
| I’m on the up and up Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
|
| Cuz I’m just trying to be
|
| A better version of me For you
|
| A better version of me For you
|
| To be prosperous
|
| Would not require much of me You see contentment is the one thing
|
| It entails
|
| To be content with where I am And getting where I need to be
|
| I’m moving past the past
|
| Where I have failed
|
| But I’m finally catching onto it And now the past is just a conduit
|
| Right there at the end
|
| Is where I’ll be Ohh
|
| Cuz I’m on the up and up
|
| I’m on the up and up And I haven’t given up Given up on what
|
| What I’ve gained from love
|
| And I’m on the up and up
|
| I’m on the up and up Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
|
| Cuz I’m just trying to be
|
| A better version of me For you
|
| A better version of me For you
|
| You never cease
|
| To supply me with
|
| What I need
|
| For a good life
|
| So when I’m down
|
| I’ll hold my head up high
|
| Cuz you’re the reason why
|
| I’m on the up and up
|
| I’m on the up and up And I haven’t given up Given up on what
|
| What I’ve gained from love
|
| And I’m on the up and up
|
| I’m on the up and up Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
|
| Cuz I’m just trying to be
|
| A better version of me For you
|
| (Trying to be a better version of me for you)
