Face Up

You turn my head

I spin my wheels

Running on empty

You know how that feels.



I'm on a roll now, or is it a slide?

Can't be too careful

With that dangerous pride.

If I could only reach that dial inside

And turn it up.



Face up, face up or you can only back down

Face up, hit the target or you better hit the ground

Face up, there's still time to turn the game around

Face up, turn it up or turn that wild card down.



Don't complain

Don't explain

I don't think my new resolve

Can stand the strain.



I'm in a groove now, or is it a rut?

I need some feedback, but all the lines are cut

I get so angry but I keep my mouth shut

And turn it up.



Face up, face up or you can only back down

Face up, hit the target or you better hit the ground

Face up, there's still time to turn the game around

Face up, turn it up or turn that wild card down.



You get all sqeezed up inside

Like the days were carved in stone

You get all wired up inside

And it's bad to be alone.



You can go out you can take a ride

And when you get out on your own

You get all smoothed out inside

And it's good to be alone.



Turn it up

Face up, face up or you can only back down

Face up, hit the target or you better hit the ground

Face up, there's still time to turn the game around

Face up, turn it up or turn that wild card down.
