Want to start
But where to begin
I've spent such long time my friend

On the outside looking in

Working hard

Spending all my time
First on the bill but last in line
Trying to make the wrong words rhyme


Up here so high
Way up in the clouds

I've lost sight
I'm upward down
I don't wanna fight

Just wanna kiss the ground tonight

Wanna be everywhere at once

Be everything to everyone
Falling short at all fronts


But I'm not lost
And I don't need found
I'm a long way off on this upward down

I don't wanna fight
Just wanna clear the air tonight


I've stolen time
I've drawn flies
I've sold the truth

And I've bought lies
I'm off the mark
But I'll get it right in time


Weary now
From always keeping score

Never content to be ignored
Giving less but expecting more


Wish I were
A much better friend
Want to have done all I could

And more when I can

But I'm running in place

And I can't slow down
Should I take a break or take a bow
It's this upward down

That's got me turned around
