Blue October "Jump Rope" Songtext

Jump Rope

Remember how you used to say"You couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day"No fuss when you had to ride the busYou just add a little blushTo paralyze your school crush

Now you're olderAnd the weight is on your shoulderMakes the world a little colderNo more hiding in the old daysBe strongDon't you give up hopeIt will get hardLife's like a jump rope

[Chorus:]Up, down (x3)Up, down, yeah'Cause it will get hard, remember:Life's like a jump ropeUp, down (x3)Up, down, yeahIt will get hard'Cause it will get hard

There'll be a bump there will be a bruiseThere'll be alarms and there will be a snoozeThere'll be a path that you will have to chooseThere'll be a win and there will be a lose

And you have to hold your head up highAnd watch all the negative go byDon't you ever be ashamed to cryYou go ahead'Cause life's like a jump rope

[Chorus]

I want to tell you that everything will be okayThat everything will eventually turn itself to goldSo keep pushing through it allDon't follow, lead the wayDon't lose yourself or your hope'Cause life's like a jump rope

You stomp your feetSo hard you make it poundRaise the bottom to the topAnd now we're never coming down

Up, downStomp your feetSpin aroundClap hands to the rhythmThen you slip down

You stomp your feetSo hard you make it poundRaise the bottom to the topAnd now we're never coming down

[Chorus]
