Upswing by The Small Calamities Lyrics

It started in blistering heat when the days were so long that I don’t know when they end or
Beginning again at the end of the world, it’s so good to see you, don’t lose yourself on the way out

We’re running back out, we’re facing the grinder
And they say that this city will eat you alive and spit you back out
Or it’s now and it’s never or it’s on the upswing

In a way I went looking for God but I found an apartment that had no hot water
Where an auto mechanic said sing with your soul, and play like you mean it or don’t play at all

You’re free from it all, and I cannot fly til I’m certain that I am alright with the fall
Like it’s nothing at all
Or it’s now and it’s never or it’s on the upswing

[Bridge]
It all changes so fast
One moment you’re somewhere
When all of these somewheres
Are hidden away in a storage compartment

This day will not happen again, it’s a new dawn, a new life, and three percent down
There in the third world in my fourth apartment, it’s a first time for everything, take time to try it all out
Like I’m just starting out
Or it’s too late to know that it’s too late to take things and turn themback out when they’re coming apart
Cause it’s now and it’s never or it’s on the upswing

It’s now and it’s never or it’s on the upswing
