Make 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.
I make it up as I go
I make it up as I go
Does it look like I've got everything under control?
I'm good at faking it
The ice is getting thin but I'm the only one who knows
I'm only making it up
On the way,
Just play it cool and take it day by day
Do what I can and if they ask me, I say,
"Hey no big deal, I got it all worked out"
I've got a little confession
I don't know what I'm doing
But if you want, you can play along
Maybe I'll wake
To find that I went and blew it
But 'til I do, I'll keep going strong
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven't gotten it wrong
Don't got no master plan, I don't got nothing at all
Please don't think less of me
The chips are in the air, I cross my fingers when they fall
And make the best of each
Hand I get played,
Stay on my toes and take it day by day
Do what I can and if they ask me, I say,
"Hey no big deal, I got it all worked out"
I've got a little confession
I don't know what I'm doing
But if you want, you can play along
Maybe I'll wake
To find that I went and blew it
But 'til I do, I'll keep going strong
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven't gotten it wrong
And I won't stop 'til I can
See the dead end with my own eyes
I've got a lot to prove, oh
And if I do get stuck,
I'll just wait for better luck
And if it never comes, I'll make it up
I've got a little confession
I don't know what I'm doing
But if you want, you can play along
Maybe I'll wake
To find that I went and blew it
But 'til I do, I'll keep going strong
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven't gotten it wrong,
Going strong, I make it up, make it up
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
I make it up as I go, oh oh oh
Still haven't gotten it wrong
