Up & Away Lyrics - Good Riddance

You've sworn allegiance to your dreams 

but still it seems so hard 

that tightrope that you walk 

why can't you put it down 

drink your way through one more 

clouded chapter of your life 

the hands reaching out to help you 

only seemed to push you further away 

your time's up 

and away 

you've made your choice now there's nothing left to say 

your times up 

and away 

mistreated and abused 

but they couldn't steal your heart 

everyone was so confused 

but your friends all played their part 

most likely to succeed 

still you threw it all away 

now your dreams lie buried next to you they're gone forever 

where's the spark in your eye 

I miss your smile 

you're burning inside out 

did you want to? 

everything they told you to make the bad things go away 

everything that they kept from you 

everything I wanted to say
