When your dream blows up,
You find your soul deflated
Put a happy end on your story
Guarantee you won't be sorry
Put you on the road to love and glory
Read the sign, says up, run down
Over and over, I hate to see him fall
so a fool could make a profit
I want a different end to his story
He doesn't die, we say we're sorry
Give that gorilla love and glory
Read the sign, says up from down
Flat made round, my love and I
Hit a rocky patch, out of control
Tires blown flat, bumping along
Both giving up on any hope to redeem us
and suddenly saw the light
We changed the arc of our story
Opened a door that never closes
This road is ours because we chose it
We read the sign, says up from down
Flat made round, up from down
Your dream blows up, hope falls flat
You find your soul deflated
Put a happy end on your story
Guarantee you won't be sorry
Put you on the road to love and glory
Up from down, flat made round
They get it together in their tale of woe
Hey, stop, that girl will wake up
Be patient, boy, don't drink that cup
Oh no, Romeo, Julie put down that knife
I want a happy end to this story
Close the book and never worry
Give those kids love and glory
Up, room, down, flatmate bound
