This Side Up

Yesterday, it rained so hard I thought the roof was gonna give

But now today's so bright, just want to let it all in

And I did it on my own and I know who my real friends were

But there's no one to blame when it's all a game

You know what the rules are

From here on out it's this side up!

It's shuffled steps and shuffled decks and how they both fall

For me a taste at first and then always the pain that sooths

And it hit me and hit me and hit me, I never even cared at all

For what's not remembered, though others did see

There was no memory for me

From here on out it's this side up! (2x)

From here on out it's this side up! (4x)

Yeah, oh boy, it feels like I got a new lease on life

I've opened a door as I opened my eyes, pulled out that knife

And it's so different here, my head is clear and in a new frame

But I can't forget my regrets, though there is no shame

For others it's simply not the same

From here on out it's this side up! (2x)

This side up!
