I'm a living exception to the rule
I'm a human April fool
I'm the upturned dancer
I'm the problem, the problem, the problem to be solved
If you wanna get involved
I'm the question not the answer
And the reason, the reason remains unknown
Just the way I've grown
Seems I never could live down there

But the wrong way up is my way up
As my feet toward the sky way up
And I'm only here 'cause I don't give up
Though it's lonelier than ever
Yes, I know the ground is your way down
But my way down is beyond the clouds
And it's scary, yeah, but I know somewhere
There's a way we can be together
There's a way we can make it better

I'm not really so different, so different to you
Still want the things you do
Just coming from a different angle
And I know that it's hard to believe but it's true
I want to be with you
There's just a little to untangle

'Cause the wrong way up is my way up
As my feet toward the sky way up
And I'm only here 'cause I don't give up
Though it's lonelier than ever
Yes, I know the ground is your way down
But my way down's beyond the clouds
And it's scary, yeah, but I know somewhere
There's a way we can be together
There's a way we can make it better, yeah

Please, don't leave me up here all alone
All alone

The wrong way up is my way up
My feet toward the sky way up
And I'm only here 'cause I don't give up
Though it's lonelier than ever
Yes, I know the ground is your way down
But my way down is beyond the clouds
And it scares me, yeah, but I know somewhere
There's a way we can make it better, ah, yeah

Yeah, the wrong way up is my way up
And I'm only here 'cause I don't give up
I don't give up, hey
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, ooh

Yes, I know the ground is your way down
But my way down is beyond the clouds
And it scares me, yeah, but I know somewhere
There's a way we can be together
There's a way we can do this better
Don't you want us to be together? Yeah
