Up & Over

from Night Life - EP by Real Life Parody

lyrics

I could take my time staring at the inside of my eyelids
Or I could spend my life writing a book about the things I did
It wouldn’t cost a dime to shut the blinds and stay inside
But I’m going broke every single night. Every fucking night

Take my portrait up in the clouds
It never did a thing for me on the ground
And let it never be pulled down
Let the height resound look at me now
In due time, I will decide
I will never set up to stand by
Will I decline? Will I surprise?
Will I surprise? Will I survive?

I know what nothing much can do
It’s awful how often a blank slate can bruise
If I don’t seem too amused
I’m focused on the calling light
The things I always knew I would pursue

It hasn’t rained for days again
And the sun and sun alone cannot
Prevent the wilted trees from caving in
I’ve been counting all the leaves I’m buried in
The trees I could’ve been, the scenes that could begin
And all the gold beneath my skin (that could’ve been x2)

I know what nothing much can do
It’s awful how often a blank slate can bruise
If I don’t seem too amused
I’m focused on the calling light
The things I always knew I would pursue
In a vessel going down without a crew
And if we die,
at least the flames will tell the tale of all the things that we’ve been through

I could stare, or I could write a book (x3)
I swear to you, I won’t be overlooked

It just seems too surreal
Holding onto things that would never appear
From outside of my head, and now it must be said
That trails I left behind have never been so far from coming to an end

I could stare, or I could write a book (x a lot)
I swear to you I won’t be overlooked

I know what nothing much can do
It’s awful just how often a blank slate can bruise
If I don’t seem too amused
I’m focused on the calling light
The things I always knew I would pursue
The things I always knew would lead to you
