Elton John — Looking Up

[Verse 1] I've figured out where I went wrong The script not followed then was awfully long Too much pluck, too little of The acting right, not actin' up [Verse 2] I've worn the world upon my back Would someone else but me pick up the slack? Just because I could say It's my life, do things my way [Chorus] Now I'm lookin' up more than I look down The view's a whole lot better second time around Too much of me was hidden in the shadows I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground [Verse 3] Color a lot with a broader stroke The laughter comes as easy as the jokes Nowadays, I'm thinkin' 'bout Time is wasted lookin' back [Chorus] Now I'm lookin' up more than I look down The view's a whole lot better second time around Too much of me was hidden in the shadows I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground [Bridge] You drop a bucket in a well It's dark and deep down there Crank the handle, bring it up The water, crystal clear [Chorus] I'm lookin' up more than I look down The view's a whole lot better second time around Too much of me was hidden in the shadows I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground [Chorus] Lookin' up more than I look down The view's a whole lot better second time around Too much of me was hidden in the shadows I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground [Outro] Lookin' up Lookin' up Lookin' up Lookin' up
