Making It Up by Kathryn Legendre Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One of these days, I'm gonna burst into flames
Cast off and cash in my 401K
'Cause I've burned too bright for anyone to handle
Always dreamin' of reasons to run off and ramble
Want to trade all this weight for a lighter kind of load
Point these two wings on down some open road
I ain't headed for nowhere, just want to go there
So I'm making it up as I go
[Verse 2]
Saw spinning in circles when you can't rest your head
Keep burning the candle at both of its ends
If it ain't in the rearview or in front of my face
I'll find any old bar that'll lend me the space
To down Mexican beer for to fill up my ego
And lie to the strangers and give 'em a show
I've got stories to sell and opinions to tell
And I'm making it up as I go
[Verse 3]
I look around, no one's paying attention
It's like I got nothing left of which to believe in
Are these the signs of the times? Has it all gone too far?
When there's too many lights, then you won't see the stars
Can't say how it got here and I may never know
But I'll follow along 'til it carries me home
No, I don't understand it, this ain't how I planned it
But I'm making it up as I go
One of these days, I'm gonna burst into flames
Cast off and cash in my 401K
'Cause I've burned too bright for anyone to handle
Always dreamin' of reasons to run off and ramble
Want to trade all this weight for a lighter kind of load
Point these two wings on down some open road
I ain't headed for nowhere, just want to go there
So I'm making it up as I go
[Verse 2]
Saw spinning in circles when you can't rest your head
Keep burning the candle at both of its ends
If it ain't in the rearview or in front of my face
I'll find any old bar that'll lend me the space
To down Mexican beer for to fill up my ego
And lie to the strangers and give 'em a show
I've got stories to sell and opinions to tell
And I'm making it up as I go
[Verse 3]
I look around, no one's paying attention
It's like I got nothing left of which to believe in
Are these the signs of the times? Has it all gone too far?
When there's too many lights, then you won't see the stars
Can't say how it got here and I may never know
But I'll follow along 'til it carries me home
No, I don't understand it, this ain't how I planned it
But I'm making it up as I go
