Yesterday, it rained so hard I thought the roof was gonna give
But now today's so bright, just want to let it all in
And I did it on my own and I know who my real friends were
But there's no one to blame when it's all a game
You know what the rules are
From here on out it's this side up!
It's shuffled steps and shuffled decks and how they both fall
For me a taste at first and then always the pain that sooths
And it hit me and hit me and hit me, I never even cared at all
For what's not remembered, though others did see
There was no memory for me
From here on out it's this side up! [x2]
From here on out it's this side up! [x4]
Yeah, oh boy, it feels like I got a new lease on life
I've opened a door as I opened my eyes, pulled out that knife
And it's so different here, my head is clear and in a new frame
But I can't forget my regrets, though there is no shame
For others it's simply not the same
From here on out it's this side up! [x2]
This side up!
