Up and Up

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
 '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
 But I'm finally catching on to it, yeah, 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
 Yeah, I'm on the up and up and 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
 And moving past the past where I have failed
 But I'm finally catching on to it and yeah, the past is just a conduit
 And the light, 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 I know I'm capable of
 Yeah, I'm on the up and up and 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
 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
 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, so yeah, 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
