Up and Up

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

Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what's gone wrong
And the hope of a new day
Is sometimes hard to see

And though I'm finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is
Where I'll be

Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up

Given up on what
I know I'm capable of
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up

Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause 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

Cause 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
Cause 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
Cause 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
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me
For you

A better version of me
For you
