Blue October - Jump Rope

Remember how you used to say,
You could'nt wait for tomorrow for a brand new day and,
No fuss when you had to ride the bus,
You'd just add a little blush,
To paralyze your school crush.
Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder,
make the world a little colder no more hidin' in the old day.
Be strong, don't you give up hope.
It will get hard,
Life's like a jump rope!

Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. Cause' it will get hard, remember
Lifes like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard, Cause it will get hard.

There'll be a bump and there will be a bruise,
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze,
There'll be a path that you will have to choose,
There'll be a win and there will be a lose and,
You gotta hold your head up high and,
watch, all the negative ago by,
Don't ever be ashamed to cry,
You go ahead! Cause life's like a jump rope!

CHORUS
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard, remember
Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah..
It will get hard... C'mon!

I wanna tell you that everything will be okay,
That everything will eventually turn itself,
To gold..
So keep pushing through it all,
Don't follow lead the way,
Don't lose yourself, or your hope,
Cause life's like a jump rope!

You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound,
Raise it back up to the top and now were never comin' down
Up down,
Stomp your feet, spin around, clap hands to the rhythm,
And ya, slip down.
Stomp your feet so hard you make it pound,
Raise it back up to the top and now were never coming down!

Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard remember,
Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard,
Cause' it will get hard!

Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up down
Yeah...
Whoa... Cause Life's like a jump rope
