Jump Rope (Approaching Normal 2009)

Текст песни Blue October - Jump Rope (Approaching Normal 2009)

[Verse 1]
Remember how you used to say
You couldn't wait 'til tomorrow for a brand new day?
And no fuss when you had to ride the bus
You'd just add a little blush to paralyze your school crush
Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder
Makes the world a little colder, no more hidin' in the old days
Be strong, don't you give up hope
It will get hard, life's like a jump rope

[Chorus]
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
'Cause it will get hard
Remember, life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
It will get hard
'Cause it will get hard

[Verse 2]
There'll be a bump and there will be a bruise
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze
There'll be a path that you will have to choose
There'll be a win and there will be a lose
And you gotta to hold your head up high and
Watch all the negative go by
Don't ever be ashamed to cry, you go ahead
'Cause life's like a jump rope
[Chorus]
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
It will get hard
Remember, life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
It will get hard, c'mon

[Bridge]
I want to tell you that everything will be okay
That everything will eventually turn itself to gold
So keep pushing through it all
Don't follow, lead the way
Don't lose yourself or your hope
'Cause life's like a jump rope

(Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah)
You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound
Raise it back up to the top, and now we're never coming down
Up, down, stomp your feet, spin around
Clap hands to the rhythm then you slip down
Stomp your feet so hard you make it pound
Raise it back up to the top, and now we're never coming down
[Chorus]
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
It will get hard
Remember, life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
It will get hard
'Cause it will get hard
(Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah)
Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, up, down, yeah
Woah, 'cause life's like a jump rope
