High and Low

As I look back at my life I wonder how I had survived.
I gotta story for each grey hair upon my chin.
Even though I love the memories, I hate'em just the same.
I can't stop wondering how things might have been.

With all the things I wrote about
And all the times I'd scream and shout
And the stories left behind
I can't turn back the time.
So I've tried and tried and tried again
In hopes there is a happy end.
I can't take anymore
I gotta get up off the floor...

(And don't look back) No, don't look back.
(and don't let go) You'll never know
One time someone told me,
"You can't have highs without the lows."
So don't look back (don't look back)
And don't let go-----
You can't have the highs if you can't take the lows.

I need money to survive
But I'm tired of workin' for the man.
I wanna get away to somewhere far.
If only I could get there
So I guess I'll need a plan.
There's no use in trying to wish upon a star.

With all the things I wrote about
And all the times I'd scream and shout
And the stories left behind
I can't turn back the time.
So I've tried and tried and tried again
In hopes there is a happy end.
I can't take anymore
I gotta get up off the floor...

(And don't look back) No, don't look back.
(and don't let go) You'll never know
One time someone told me,
"You can't have highs without the lows."
So don't look back (don't look back)
And don't let go-----
You can't have the highs if you can't take the lows.
