[Verse 1]
Yesterday
Was not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today
With every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what's gone wrong
That the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I'm finally catching onto it
Yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the life there at the end is where I'll be

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of
Yeah, I'm on the up and up
Yeah, there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for You
A better version of me for You
[Verse 2]
Now I have
All that I could ever need
The confidence of knowing there's still time
Time to make amends
And try to build a better me
And to take the right steps as this road unwinds

[Pre-Chorus]
You see, I'm finally catching onto it
The past is just a conduit
And the life there at the end is where I'll be

[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of
I'm on the up and up
And now there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for You
A better version of me for You

[Bridge]
You never cease
To supply me with what I need
For a good life
So when I'm down I'll hold my head up high
'Cause You're the reason why
Yeah, You're why
[Chorus]
I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of
Yeah, I'm on the up and up
Now there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for You
(I'm just trying to be a better version of me for You)
I'm just trying to be a better version of me for You
