jump rope

Blue October

Remember how you used to say
Â?you couldnÂ?t wait till tomorrow for a brand new dayÂ?
no fuss when ya had to ride the bus
you could add a little blush
just to paralyze your school crush

now your older and the weight upon your shoulder
makes the world a little colder
no more hidin in the old days
be strong
donÂ?t give up hope
it will get hard
cause lifeÂ?s like a jump rope

up down when it gets hard remember lifeÂ?s like a jump rope

thereÂ?ll be a bump there will be a bruise
thereÂ?ll be alarms and there will be a snooze
thereÂ?ll be a path that u will get to choose
thereÂ?ll be a win and there will be a lose

you have to hold your head up high and
watch all the negative go by
donÂ?t u ever be ashamed to cry
you go ahead
cuz lifeÂ?s like a jump rope

I want to tell u that everything will be okay
That everything will eventually turn itself to gold
Keep pushin through it all
DonÂ?t follow, lead the way
DonÂ?t lose yourself or your hope

Remember lifeÂ?s like a jump rope
