jump rope

blue october

remember how you used to say

you couldn't wait 'til tomorrow for a brand new day. and no fuss

when ya had to ride the bus

you'd just add a little blush

to paralyze your school crush

now you're older

and the weight in on your shoulder

make the world a little colder

no more hiding in the old days

be strong

don't you give up hope

it will get hard

life's like a jump rope

up

'cause it will get hard

there'll be a bump and there will be a bruise

there'll be alarms and there will be a snooze

there'll be a path that you will have to choose

there'll be a win and there will be a lose

and you have to hold your head up high

and watch all the negative go by

don't you ever be ashamed to cry

you go ahead

'cause life's like a jump rope
