up and up

Yesterday was not quite what it could’ve been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today, with every breath I’m breathing in
I’ll be trying to make it so much more

‘Cause it seems I get so hung up on the history of what’s gone wrong
And the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I’m finally catching on to it, yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end is where I’ll be

‘Cause I’m on the up and up, I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up, given up on what I know I’m capable of
Yeah, I’m on the up and up and yeah, there’s nothing left to prove
‘Cause I’m just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you

Now i have, all that i could ever need
The confidence of knowing there’s still time
To make amends, and try to build a better me
and to take the right steps as this road unwinds.

But I’m finally catching on to it and yeah,
the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end is where I’ll be

Oh, ’cause I’m on the up and up, I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up, given up on what I know I’m capable of
Yeah, I’m on the up and up and yeah, there’s nothing left to prove
‘Cause I’m just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you

Never cease to supply me with what I need for a good life
So when I’m down, I’ll hold my head up high
‘Cause you’re the reason why, yeah, you’re why

I’m on the up and up, I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up, given up on what I know I’m capable of
Yeah, I’m on the up and up, so yeah, there’s nothing left to prove
‘Cause I’m just trying to be a better version of me for you
I’m just trying to be a better version of me for you

Relient K – Up and Up

A few days without my blue book, and its already been quite hard. it was such an important outlet for me to say 6 very important words that sum up all i am right now. but it held me back, and i am slowly getting better. i am, because of 4 words every morning and night, because of your voice every day, because of your smiles and happy faces, because of your bright turqoise bag i see all the time, because of econs tuition i give to you, because of everything that is now, and everything that will be…

” Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.”
