Making It Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah well, I may go through this life
Never knowing who I am and why I'm here
And why I'm doing what I'm doing
I guess I'll just go with whatever my name is
And take for word everything I've learned
From my father and my father's father
They were making it up, we're making it all up
What else can we do?
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up
It's the only way to get through
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright
Because I'm here with you tonight
Making it up, we're making it all up
Some people think
The world revolves around them
And their beautiful child
Some people like to pile things up around them
And surround themselves
With a beautiful lie
Ain't we making it up, we're making it all up
What else can we do?
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up
It's the only way to get through
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright
Because I'm here with you tonight
Making it up, we're making it all up
Well, there's more to this life
More than what you see
It's true what they say
That life is but a dream
So row your boat gently
Gently down the stream
And keep dreaming your dream
Keep on making it up, making it all up
What else can we do?
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up
It's the only way to get through
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright
Because I'm here with you tonight
Making it up, we're making it all up
