Blue October - Jump Rope

Remember how you used to say,
‘You couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day'.
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 hiding in the old days.
Be strong,
Don't give up hope,
It will get hard
‘Cause life's like a jump rope.

Up down, when it gets hard remember: life's like a jump rope.

There'll be a bump, there will be a bruise,
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze,
There'll be a path that you will get to choose,
There'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.
Don't you ever be ashamed to cry,
You go ahead
‘Cause life's like a jump rope.

I want to tell you that everything will be okay,
That everything will eventually turn itself to gold,
Keep pushing through it all,
Don't follow, lead the way,
Don't lose yourself or your hope.

Remember: life's like a jump rope.
