Things Are Lookin' Up Lyrics

Took my watch off the day you left me
Tryin' to make time stand still
Anybody knows that's just a fool's game
'Cause it never will
God only knows how I'm feeling alone
Midnight or daylight, you're still gone

Feels like your flyin' when your falling down
Give anything for you to come back around
Try not to think about the pain inside
It only hurts when I'm alive
Things are lookin' up all the time
All the time

You say time will heal every heartache
Well I wear these scars like an overcoat
I hope to hell its gonna be a long, cold winter
'Cause I get cold

Feels like you're flyin' when you're falling down
Give anything for you to come back around
Try not to think about the pain inside
It only hurts when I'm alive
Things are lookin' up

Every day it's a brand new start
With the same old ache thats been breaking my heart

Feels like you're flyin' when you're falling down
Give anything for you to come back around
Try not to think about the pain inside
It only hurts when I'm alive
Things are lookin' up all the time
All the time

Lonely Night in Georgia

You say time will heal every heartache
Well I wear these scars like an overcoat
I hope to hell its gonna be a long, cold winter
'Cause I get cold

Feels like you're flyin' when you're falling down
Give anything for you to come back around
Try not to think about the pain inside
It only hurts when I'm alive
Things are lookin' up

Every day it's a brand new start
With the same old ache thats been breaking my heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

heard this live. loved it. I can completely relate to the feeling in this song while wanting to look past something thats happened to me, but not being able to do that (because I want that person to come back around) and displaying it through heartwrenching sarcasm and inner pain. the first two lines stand out to me. and I love the blatantly poignant and blunt "It only hurts when I'm alive" without being whiny. more people should comment. can't wait for his next album.
