Looking Up Lyrics

Things are looking up
Oh, finally
I thought I'd never see the day
When you'd smile at me

We always pull through
Oh, when we try
I'm always wrong
But you're never right
Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe
We cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

Could've given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away
From the end of me

Taking for granted
Most everything
That I would have died for
Just yesterday
Just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe
We cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

God knows the world doesn't need another band
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
But what a waste it would've been
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Honestly, can you believe
We cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore, no, oh
It's not a dream anymore, no, oh
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Yeah, we're just getting started

Cover art for Looking Up lyrics by Paramore

This is word by word out of Hayley William's song lyric journal. This is the meaning she wrote for this song.

Last year when we canceled our "U.K Riot" tour and went home. I didn't know if we'd even get back on the road. I sort of thought we'd run our course and it was over. All because of failed relationships...friendships. We stopped caring about each other. I started playing music for a living instead of living for playing music. I also reached outside my circle of friends (the band) for acceptance and the hope I could find people to really relate to. I needed real friends-not forced ones. That's when it became really hard. NO one understand each other anymore. Somehow between then and now, we've grown up a little bit. I've realized it's not bad that I'm an individual. We all have our own thing and now that we got it, "I can't beleive we almost hung it up, we're just getting started"

would you mind typing all the pages of her journal and send them to my email. i would die to see them and read them /: i was on vacation when there new album came out let me know :{D

whats best about this song is that most people can relate to most of it .. my favorite part is

I'd never trade it in 'Cause I've always wanted this and It's not a dream anymore, no It's not a dream anymore It's worth fighting for

Could have given up so easily I was a few cheap shots away From the end of me

Taken for granted Almost everything That I would have died for Just yesterday Just yesterday
