Yesterday
Is 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

Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what´s gone wrong
And the hope of a new day
Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)
And though I´m finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is
Where I´ll be

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
And I´m on the up and up
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

To be prosperous
Would not require much of me
You see contentment is the one thing
It entails
To be content with where I am
And getting where I need to be
I´m moving past the past
Where I have failed

But I´m finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
Right there at the end
Is where I´ll be
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
What I´ve gained from love
And I´m on the up and up
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

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

I´m on the up and up
I´m on the up and up
And I haven´t given up
Given up on what
What I´ve gained from love
And I´m on the up and up
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
(Trying to be a better version of me for you)
Oh
