“Looking Up” is an upbeat and hopeful track, lyrically about how the band feels like it has become an overnight success. This album was released in 2009, only 5 years after their first record All We Know Is Falling. It wasn’t until Misery Business and Riot! that the band really got the ball rolling...
[Verse 1]
Things are looking up, oh, finally
I thought I'd never see the day when you'd smile at me
We always pull through, oh, when we try
I'm always wrong, but you're never right
Oh, you're never right
[Chorus]
Honestly, can you believe
We cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore
No
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for
[Verse 2]
Could've given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taking for granted 'most everything
That I would've died for just yesterday
Just yesterday
[Chorus]
Honestly, can you believe
We cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore
No
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for
[Verse 3]
God knows the world doesn't need another band
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
But what a waste it would've been
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Honestly, can you believe
We cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore
No
It's not a dream anymore
No
It's not a dream anymore (It's not a dream anymore)
No
It's not a dream anymore (No, it's not a dream anymore)
It's worth fighting for
[Outro]
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Yeah, we're just getting started

Taylor and I kept bugging Josh to write a feel-good, fast-paced song. You know the kind of song that makes you roll your windows down and sing really loud even in dead-stop traffic (for those of you in L.A.)? I drove over to Josh’s one day. It was starting to get warmer outside and the sky was so cl...
