| [00:01.42] |
Build me up don’t get me down, |
| [00:07.39] |
weather the storm. |
| [00:11.54] |
Well, life goes on. |
| [00:17.18] |
Feelings ebb and flow by hour. |
| [00:23.06] |
You’re up in the clouds, |
| [00:27.56] |
and then you sink like a stone. |
| [00:31.18] |
So do you fill yourself with pills |
| [00:35.35] |
to deaden your ills? |
| [00:38.70] |
Or are you only one love short of happiness? |
| [00:46.95] |
And in a picture on the wall |
| [00:51.10] |
no glimmer of yourself at all. |
| [00:55.41] |
You’ve let yourself fall away. |
| [01:04.62] |
Build me up, don’t mop my brow, |
| [01:10.41] |
weather the storm, |
| [01:14.65] |
because life goes on. |
| [01:20.21] |
Missed my only hope right now. |
| [01:26.05] |
It’s all I can do |
| [01:30.19] |
not to sink like a stone. |
| [01:35.76] |
So do you fill yourself with pills |
| [01:38.46] |
to deaden your ills? |
| [01:41.92] |
Or are you only one love short of happiness? |
| [01:50.14] |
And in a picture on the wall |
| [01:54.38] |
no glimmer of yourself at all. |
| [01:57.95] |
You’ve left yourself far away. |
| [02:43.79] |
So do you fill yourself with pills |
| [02:48.10] |
to cure you of your ills? |
| [02:51.45] |
Or are you only one love short of the happy days to come? |
| [02:59.43] |
And in a picture on the wall |
| [03:03.90] |
can’t see your face at all. |
| [03:07.51] |
So untie yourself, |
| [03:11.50] |
because that’s all you’ve got to do. |
| [03:15.25] |
And I can grab those wings |
| [03:19.41] |
and I can take up flying |
| [03:21.86] |
won’t be no crying. |
| [03:24.02] |
Up in the air, looking back down. |
| [03:30.57] |
And let me tell you if I talk about gloom |
| [03:34.98] |
I don’t get out of feeling down. |
| [03:39.25] |
It strips you of yourself |
| [03:42.92] |
and splits you from the self that you know. |
