Lookin' Up Songtext
von Barenaked Ladies

Some people wanna take a high dive into a drink
Some people wanna watch the world swirl into the sink
Why would you argue is the glass half full? It′s a mess
I drank the first half, you can drink the rest (hey)

One foot on the pedal
One hand on the wheel
Don't know where I′m heading
But it starts right here

Everywhere I go is home
Every town and every road
Every song I've ever known
Carried in my bones
I feel like a lightning strike
Every time I rock the mic
You can join me if you like
Or I'll go on my own


I′m lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
All the way up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
All the way

Look at me now, I think you'd find it hard to believe
Back in my yearbook, voted least likely to succeed
You go and worry ′bout the things you can't control
I'ma see the donut, you can see the hole (hey)

Everywhere I go is home
Every town and every road
Every song I′ve ever known
Carried in my bones
I feel like a lightning strike
Every time I rock the mic
You can join me if you like
Or I′ll go on my own

I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
All the way up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
All the way up


Everywhere I go is home
Every town and every road
Every song I've ever known
Carried in my bones
I feel like a lightning strike
Every time I rock the mic
You can join me if you like
Or I'll go on my own

I′m lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
All the way up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm lookin′ up (oh-oh, oh-oh)
All the way up
