[Verse 1]
I've figured out where I went wrong
The script not followed then was awfully long
Too much pluck, too little of
The acting right, not actin' up
[Verse 2]
I've worn the world upon my back
Would someone else but me pick up the slack?
Just because I could say
It's my life, do things my way
[Chorus]
Now I'm lookin' up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Verse 3]
Color a lot with a broader stroke
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
Nowadays, I'm thinkin' 'bout
Time is wasted lookin' back
[Chorus]
Now I'm lookin' up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Bridge]
You drop a bucket in a well

Crank the handle, bring it up

[Chorus]
I'm lookin' up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Chorus]
Lookin' up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Outro]
Lookin' up
Lookin' up
Lookin' up
Lookin' up
