lyrics

I Been Up (By Chris Brett)

Verse 1:

I been up, I been down
I've seen the view from this side of town
And it's getting old, so I'll be bold
Accept my fate, as it unfolds

Chorus:

Did you ever get the feeling that your world is unreeling
All those footsteps felt so dear and now you're barely dealing
All those hopes and aspirations don't mean much in isolation
If you could change your world you'd change your point of view

Verse 2:

I been stuck in a rut before
But it ain't like shopping at a candy store
No catalogue to see me through
No choices in my apparent view

Verse 3:

I been up, I been down
I've seen the view from this side of town
And it's getting old so I'll be bold
I'll just suck it up as my fate unfolds

Chorus

Bridge:

Bound by your loyalties blinded by the easy tease
Settling for the life that's gone before
You gotta cut the ties that bind
You gotta get out while you can
Feels like you're running from a heartache
You can't look back, you don't look back

Chorus x 2

I've been up
I've been down
I've been up
