Up & Down & Back Again - Powderfinger

Come and rescue me

From in the water deep

Careful now don’t lose your aim

The road ahead is clear again

I haven’t found it yet

You drift away so slow

In the ebb and flow

So I landed on my feet

The steadiness is bittersweet

It feels the same when you’re pushed

Out and away and into the crush

In all the hidden pleasures you find

In what you’re looking for

I hope that you remember that pride

Comes before a fall

I can barely see up and own and back again

Despite what you believe I keep away from trouble

If who I am today’s a sign of where I’m going

I’m ready to embrace

Recreate the scene

Of everywhere you’ve been

Overcome the dreaded curse

A symptom of the universe

It feels the same when you’re pushed

Out and away and into the crush

I can barely see up and own and back again

Despite what you believe I keep away from trouble

If who I am today’s a sign of where I’m going

I’m ready to embrace

If everybody knows just who you are

When your walk on role becomes a major part

Have you ever attempted to be yourself

When everybody wants you to be someone else

Up and down and back again

Going up and down and back again
