The Other Side Of Down

David Archuleta The Other Side Of Down Lyrics
1.The Other Side Of Down

Down down,
Down down,
Down down
(down down)

Here I am with all these questions hanging from a ceiling low
One by one they all keep telling me I told you so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no

In a world that's spinning round but somehow it knocked me off
my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me
I could give up, I could stay stuck, I could move on

So I put one foot in front of the other
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of down, down, down
Whoa oh oh down
(Down, down, down, down)

In the sky I'm standing under all I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver lining hiding in the grey
I might get tossed around but I'm always bouncing back
Oh oh, oh oh

I could give up, I could stay stuck, but I could move on

So I put one foot in front of the other
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of down, down, down
Whoa oh oh oh
Down, down, down, whoa oh oh oh down yeahh

On the other other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be on the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be,

Where I wanna be

Oh I put one foot in front of the other
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of down, down, down
Whoa oh oh down
Down, down, down,
Whoa oh down
Oh down, down,
Oh down, down,
The other side of down, down
The other side of down, down, oh yeh yeah


2.Something 'Bout Love

Every night it's all the same
You're frozen by the phone
You wait, something's changed
You blame yourself every day
You'd do it again
Every night

There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There's something 'bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It'll bring you to your knees
There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
But don't give up
There's something 'bout love

When you were young
Scared of the night
Waiting for love to come along
And make it right
Your day will come, the past is gone
So take your time
And live and let live

There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There's something 'bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It'll bring you to your knees
There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
But don't give up
There's something 'bout love

Don't fight
Don't hide
Those stars in your eyes (in your eyes)
Let em' shine tonight
Let em' shine tonight

Hang on
Hang in
For the ride of your life
It's gonna be alright
Hold on tight

There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh

There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There's something 'bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It'll bring you to your knees (to your knees)
There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
But don't give up
There's something 'bout love

Whoa oh oh oh..
Sets you free
There's something bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain


3.Elevator

Woah oh oh ohhh

I had a dream last night
I didn't know which floor to get off on, heyyyeyy
The doors, they opened on 4 and 5 and 6
And you were gone, all gone

I didn't understand
I didn't wanna know
At least I took a chance
I had to let it go

Elevator goes up
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

And in my dream last night
The doors they finally shut and I was there, somewhere
Alone in my reality inside an empty box
That's filled with air
But I don't care, noooo

Next time I'll get it right
Next time I'll be okay
I'll have a different dream tonight
Tomorrow's another day

Elevator goes up (elevator goes up)
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

You'll never know
What you're gonna get
What you don't expect will come and find you
If you laugh or cry
If you run and hide
But it's all right

Elevator goes up
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

Elevator goes up
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Until your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high


4.Stomping The Roses

Wasting time, just going mindless
Watching your charades
When you were younger
Did it occur to you
10 years from then, you'd act the same age?

I cannot carry on this way,
Although I've carried all your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses?
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses

I was flippin' channels on my television
And it made me feel unwell
One of those complicated soap operas
I almost felt like I was watching myself

I cannot carry on this way,
Although I've carried all your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses?
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses, everyone knows it

I know, I know, I know I know it's over and I
I know, I know, I know always been token nice guy
I know, I know, I know I know that you rule your whole world
I thought I could live in it
But I just can't

You know you're stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses everyone knows it

Stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses


5.Who I Am

Been two hours in a taxi cab
I'm just driving around and I'm running the tab
But it doesn't really matter, no I'm not getting mad
It's okay 'cause I know where I'm going (going)

Out the window everyone's on the phone
All the lights are on and they're all in the zone
Gotta take a step back from my new ringtone
I don't care if Jeff Fenster is calling (c-c-calling)

Days like these it's hard to breathe

I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
Stop the craziness somehow
Leave it all behind me
And no one's gonna find me

I've got nothing to win and I've got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out who I am

(Who I am) the windshield looks like a movie screen
And the world outside is a big machine
And it moves so fast I can barely think
That's okay 'cause I know what I'm doing

Days like these it's hard to breathe

I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
Stop the craziness somehow
Leave it all behind me
And no one's gonna find me

I've got nothing to win and I've got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out who I am

Sometimes (sometimes)
You just know
When to hold on
When to let go

Gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
Stop this craziness somehow
Leave it all behind me
No one's gonna find me
I've got nothing to win and I've got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out who I am
I've got nothing to win and I've got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out who I am

Who I am

Who I am


6.Falling Stars

When you forget me
When you don't remember my name
Not even a memory
Somewhere in the back of your brain
I won't be offended
'Cause I always knew that the day
Would come when I'm not enough to
Make you stay
You tell me it's not possible,
No way that we could break
But nothing is illogical, believe me

Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, burn like
Crashing cars I'll never get over you, never over you
'Cause you are so beautiful, yeah

The world is turning
And time keeps on lingering on
The sun will be burning
Eventually you will be gone

I'll always love you
Oh, believe it or not
Baby, that's not enough to,
Not enough to stop these

Falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, burn like
Crashing cars I'll never get over you, never over you
'Cause you are so beautiful, yeah

When it's all said and done, I'll be
Just a speck in the galaxy
Floating far, far away by gravity
Tell me it's not possible,
No way that we could break

Like falling stars
Like crashing cars
Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, just like
Crashing cars I'll never get over you, never over you
'Cause you are so beautiful
You are so beautiful, yeah


7.Parachutes & Airplanes

There's something crazy about this day
Like I'm walking on a trampoline
I couldn't get much higher

Oh so if I ask you, would you stay
'Cause you remind me of a ballerina dancing on a wire

And I don't ever want to say goodbye
I just want to steal this moment
Right away from time

What do you say when you can't look down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you're here and you got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplane
We'll never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground

The world's a thousand shades of blue
Like we're here in the kaleidoscope
Don't want it to be over

Like everything that's in my mind
Is here right in front of my eyes
And you're the one who got me here

Cause I don't ever want to say goodbye
I just want to steal this moment
Right away from time

What do you say when you can't look down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you're here and you got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
We'll never hit the ground

'Cause life gets hard sometimes
And I just need a place to get away
Turn the world around
I'm never coming down
'Cause I don't ever wanna hit the,
Wanna hit the ground, ground, ground
I don't wanna hit the ground

What do you say when you can't look down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you're here and you got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes

What do you say when you can't look down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you're here and you got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
We'll never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground
Never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground


8.Look Around

Keep on running
And you'll never get to feel the moment
It's like you're sleeping
Cuz you don't take the time to take it in
Like a trainwreck you're on a mission
Tunnel vision got you blinded
Better slow down
Before you lose ground
It'll happen anyway

Paint it over if your world is grey

When you close your eyes to see the view
You miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
You can build your life right on air
But your need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh look around look around
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh look around look around

Shut the window tight
But it's raining on the inside
Do you realise you're getting nowhere
That it's all laid out for you? (all laid out for you?)
Cut the ribbon if it starts to fray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
You can build your life right on air
But your need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh look around look around
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh look around look around

You found a loop hole
That you fell in
Now you're treading water
You gotta see the hand
For it to pull you out

When you close your eyes to see the view
You miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
You can build your life right on air
But your need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh look around look around
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh look around look around

Look around


9.Good Place

I don't know what Im doing here
How I landed in this space
But it's a good place
And I don't wanna mess it up
Make mistakes or say too much
Coz it's a good place

You find it
You hold it
You feel it's grace

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it's not too late...
I hope it's not too late...

I've been silent up till now
I've been going with the flow
Wherever that goes
But something screaming out inside
Makes me want to close my eyes
And hear the echo

You find it
You know it
don't make it wait

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it's not too late

Coz I don't wanna waste another summer
I don't wanna wait until I fall
I could be memory tomorrow
I could be nothing at all

I don't know what Im doing here
How I landed in this space
But it's a good place

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it's not too late
I hope it's not too late


10.Complain

How many times have you said
That if you just had one more;
Another in my pocket?
Know that I've felt the same

How many times have you dreamed
That you could pack up and leave?
Just run away from your troubles
Baby I can't complain

'Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't always turn out just the way
I thought it all should've been
Baby I can't complain
No more wasting my time or looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer, no way
Baby I can't complain
No way, no way, no way
Baby I can't complain

Have you ever believed
That's it's just not your day?
That the world is against you
You know, we've all felt that way

So far away from my home
And everything that I love
But as long as I'm breathing
Baby I can't complain

'Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't always turn out just the way
I thought it all should've been
Baby I can't complain
No more wasting my time or looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer, no way
Baby I can't complain
No way, no way, no way
Baby I can't complain
No way, no way, no way

Anytime and any minitue now
We could fall it all crash down
But I'm not gonna ever live that way
No way

'Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't always turn out just the way
I thought it all should've been
Baby I can't complain
No more wasting my time or looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer, no way
Baby I can't complain
No way, no way, no way
Baby I can't complain
No way, no way, no way
Baby I can't complain


11.Things Are Gonna Get Better

Everybody's got a time in their life
When everything hurts and nothing's right.
But you gotta walk on,
Yeah you gotta walk on.

Everybody's got a piece of their heart
That's been stepped on and torn apart.
But you gotta be strong
Yeah you gotta walk on.

Cause I, know, it's hard to have the strength and,
Sometimes, you can't get through the day, but,
Things just float on by like river in the night.

But I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know life is gonna get better,
Standing here together
Yeah we're gonna be fine.

Everybody's got that one regret,
No matter how they try, they can't forget.
But you gotta move on,
Yeah you gotta move on.
And everybody's got someone they've lost,
And they can't believe they're really gone.
But you gotta live on,
Yeah you gotta live on.

Cause I, know, it's hard to have the strength and,
Sometimes, all you feel is pain, but,
Time keep floating by on that river in the night.

But I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know, life is gonna get better,
Standing here together
Yeah we're gonna be fine.

And I've been shown hope
We see it in your eyes.
So take me, touch me.
Cause with a little bit of love, we can win the fight.
With a little bit of love we can see the light.
With a little bit of love it'll be alright.
I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know life is gonna get better,
Standing here together
Yeah we're gonna be fine.
Walk, walk, on by and
Keep, keep, keep walking on.
Keep, keep, keep walking on.


12.My Kind Of Perfect

I was thinking about you
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper

Like you like shooting stars
Write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror

And I know, I know she's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, she's gotta be
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say?
Baby I know you are alive

Is she the one, is it today?
Will I turn the corner see my future in her beautiful face?
Maybe

She's anything but typical,
A sweet surprise
No matter what she's looking at the bright side
It's gonna be worth it,
'Cause that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect

And I know, I know she's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, she's gotta be
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say?
Baby I know you are alive

Is she the one, is it today?
Will I turn the corner, see my future in her beautiful face?
Maybe

They say give it time
Give it time and it will fall in life
But I keep wondering how and when
And why I haven't met you
But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right

Ooh oh oh
Is she the one, is it today?
Will I turn the corner, see my future in her beautiful face?
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say?
Baby I know you are alive

Is she the one, is it today?
Will I turn the corner, see my future in her beautiful face?
Maybe

Oh, maybe, yeah

La la la la da la, whoa oh

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
