lyrics

I heard the news you left later the next day
I suppose it didn’t seem important to say
Goodbyes because they were simply talking
About the greater plan to begin walking
Away

This life brings me up and swings me down
There are times I rule and there are times I clown
There have been days of ruin that I thought

It felt necessary to grab a guitar and figure
Out the proper way to shake this dark architecture
But there's a problem in deciphering who
Should be listening for a breakthrough
Today

This life brings me up and swings me down
There are times I rule and there are times I clown
There have been days of ruin that I thought

When misadventure takes it's time to pick
Me up it strips me down with Fortune's quick
Sway

This life brings me up and swings me down
There are times I rule and there are times I clown
There have been days of ruin that I thought
Lost for hope but was worried for naught
