UPHILL

One of these days gonna find a way
to bring it all back to a better place somehow.
One of these days gonna make you see
things won’t always be the way they are now.
I’m building a shelter
[It’s such an uphill climb...]
I’m building a shelter.
[We’re running out of time...]
I’m building our little shelter.
[Out of time.]
I’m building a shelter
[The bridges that we burned...]
I’m building a shelter.
[The advice we never heard...]
I’m building our little shelter.
[Never heard.]
Remember when you pawned your diamond ring?
Felt like love didn’t mean a thing somehow.
If I could find the way to change the past,
yesterday wouldn’t stand a chance right now.
I’m building a shelter
[It’s such an uphill climb...]
I’m building a shelter.
[We’re running out of time...]
I’m building our little shelter.
[Out of time.]
I’m building a shelter
[The bridges that we burned...]
I’m building a shelter.
[The respect we never earned...]
I’m building our little shelter.
[Never earned.]
I’M BUILDING A SHELTER
[But it’s such an uphill climb.]
I’M BUILDING A SHELTER
[But we’re running out of time.]
I’M BUILDING
Our little shelter.
One of these days gonna make you see
things won’t always be the way they are now.
