China White
"Up & Down"
Love's like a disease
Like a desert heat that's pining for an island breeze
Like a stubborn stain ingrained into your favorite jeans
It never goes away
'Cause love's here to stay
The girl's never content
She puts the world that lives around her always up for rent
Through her own dissatisfaction is her own dissent
But maybe when she stops
Is when the penny drops
(That she's not alone) whispered
Love will always bring you up and down
Love will always be around
Love will always bring you a bittersweet crown
To wear upon your heart when it can't be found (x2)
You be the top of my world
The tip of my sun
You be the reason I believe when all is finished and done
When all is said and understood we'll be together and tight
Safe in knowledge we're together whether wrong or it's right
We'll be inseparable
Physically and mentally one
There's only you and me aware of where we're going and from
Only the two of us who know of what we're feeling inside
We've got a mutual attraction that's impossible to hide
And my friend's a fool
Two Indian brave we grew from elementary school
He was raised in strict surroundings by his father's rule
Now his identity grows
But still the past it shows
Ain't it funny how people forget where they're from
People you thought that you knew are now gone
It's strange, how people you love will just change
Familiar faces now are nothing but traces of a past environment you once found familiar
Now you're residing in a brand new day
Uncomfortable silence with a friend
To each other you were once like a brother now you've nothing to say
Love will always bring you up and down
Love will always be around
Love will always bring you a bittersweet crown
To wear upon your heart when it can't be found (x2)
