[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.
