It's just the story of my life truth be told
Running and racing caught up in the fold
Laying low and I just take it blow by blow
Scaling mountains of trouble so old
When my feet are in concrete and I start to drown
I surrender, let go as I sink deeper down
'Cause it's only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Darkness is my comfort the deeper I go
My mind plays the tricks
But my body, she knows
Give into panic, give life to my death
I cannot stay here so low, low, low
There's a crack in this concrete
Since I've hit the ground
I surrender let go
No, I will not drown
'Cause it's only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Fight or flight
In my sight
Reach for light
Fight or flight
In my sight
Reach for light
If treading water's what keeps me alive
I must break the surface to survive
'Cause it's only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only Up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
