[Verse 1]
I put a wager on uncertainty
It's funny when you wager how you feel
I hit the breaking point, then broke on through
I'm never certain when it comes to you

[Chorus]
Once things look up, I come falling down
Too deep to take a step and look around
Once things look up, I come falling down

[Verse 2]
I bottle up the pieces and repair
But every time we break, I'm buildin' still
Stand back and marvel at what we have made
It's hard to notice when you run away

[Chorus]
Once things look up, I come falling down
Too deep to take a step, I'm buried now
Once things look up, I come falling down

[Bridge]
Wouldn't it be nice
If we could both be right
So we could go to bed each day without a single fight
And we would be alright
And you could say good night
Instead of just goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Chorus]
Once you look up, sun will hide your frowns
Too light to see the dark, so hidden now
Once things look up, I come falling down
I try and nothing's there behind the clouds
Once I look up, all comes falling down
