Elton John - Looking Up Lyrics
(Verse)
I've figured out where I went wrong
The script not followed then was awfully long
Too much pluck, too lil of
The actin' right, not actin' up
I've worn the world upon my back
Would someone else but me pick up the slack?
Just becos' I could say
It's my life, do things my way
(Chorus)
Now I'm lookin' up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot betta second time around
Too much of me was livin' in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
(Verse 2)
Color a lot with a broader stroke
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
Nowadays, I'm thinkin' bout
Time is wasted lookin' back
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You drop a bucket in a well
It's dark and deep down there
Crank the handle, bring it up
The water, crystal clear
(Chorus)
(Outro x6)
Lookin' up
(Verse)
I've figured out where I went wrong
The script not followed then was awfully long
Too much pluck, too lil of
The actin' right, not actin' up
I've worn the world upon my back
Would someone else but me pick up the slack?
Just becos' I could say
It's my life, do things my way
(Chorus)
Now I'm lookin' up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot betta second time around
Too much of me was livin' in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
(Verse 2)
Color a lot with a broader stroke
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
Nowadays, I'm thinkin' bout
Time is wasted lookin' back
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You drop a bucket in a well
It's dark and deep down there
Crank the handle, bring it up
The water, crystal clear
(Chorus)
(Outro x6)
Lookin' up
