What do you get when you fall in love
What do you get when you crash and burn
Lessons learned about yesterday
Will never be forgotten never ever thrown away
You may find yourself where you thought you dropped you of

When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
When I'm feeling sad and grey can you make it stop
When I'm thinking hard about yesterday
What used to be the present has already flown away

When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
Come and pick me up
Come and pick me up

What do you get when you never learn
What do you get when life takes a turn
You may find yourself in the same situation
Learn from the past and avoid the allegations
You may find yourself where you thought you dropped you of

When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
When I'm feeling sad and grey can you make it stop
When I'm thinking hard about yesterday
What used to be the present has already flown away
When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
Come and pick me up
Come and pick me up

You may think to yourself man it can't be that hard
Then why am I rolling rouches out of my businesscards
You may think to yourself man whats there to say
Don't say anything you wont help me anyway
Come and pick me up come and pick me up

When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
When I'm feeling sad and grey can you make it stop
When I'm thinking hard about yesterday
What used to be the present has already flown away
When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up
When I'm feeling sad and grey can you make it stop
When I'm thinking hard about yesterday
What used to be the present has already flown away
When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up

The chorus "When I'm down down down down down can you pick me up?" repeats multiple times, emphasizing a desire for support during difficult times. The lyrics also touch upon the fleeting nature of time and the importance of living in the present. Lines such as "What used to be the present has already flown away" urge the listener to cherish the moments that can easily slip away.
