This song is obviously about turning a terrible situation into a good one. Cody carson has said this is a song that is about having bad days but turning it upside down into a good day.
[Verse 1]
Car’s dyin’, not a lot of money
Scared to check my checkin’ account
I guess I’m walkin’ for now
But at least I’m finally gettin’ exercise, oh
Bus ridin’, some dudes were mean muggin’
Got a blackened eye and a cameo appearance on Cops
But at least I’m finally gettin’ televised
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I could, focus on the hate
Relive yesterday, and block out all the sunshine
Or I could, focus on my lane, just live for today
Sights set on the bright side, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Hey, I’m gonna make a smile out of that frown
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it upside down
So sing it loud
Oh, until they put me six feet underground
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it upside down
We could now
[Verse 2]
Bicycle, runnin’ late and rushin’
Looked down for a second and slammed into a car in the lot
But at least I’m getting outta work tonight, oh
Hospital, got my third concussion
Callin’ up my boss to explain, he says I’m losin’ my job
But at least I got more time to ride my bike (Oh no)
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I could, focus on the pain
Relive yesterday, and block out all the sunshine
Or I could, focus on my lane, just live for today
Sights set on the bright side, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Hey, I’m gonna make a smile out of that frown
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it upside down
So sing it loud
Oh, until they put me six feet underground
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it upside down
We could now
[Bridge]
Da-da-da turn it upside down
Da-da-da turn it upside down
You know that we’ll be turning it upside down
(One more time!)
Da-da-da turn it upside down
Da-da-da turn it upside down
You know that we’ll be turning it upside down
(Sing it now)
Upside down
(Alright let’s get it)
Upside down
(How we turnin’ it?)
Upside down
(Lemme hear you!)
Upside down
Upside down
Sing it now
[Chorus]
Hey, I’m gonna make a smile out of that frown
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it upside down
So sing it loud
Oh, until they put me six feet underground
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it upside down
We could now
[Bridge]
Da-da-da turn it upside down
Da-da-da turn it upside down
You know that we’ll be turning it upside down
Sing it now
Da-da-da turn it upside down
Da-da-da turn it upside down
