Upside Down
A-Teens°¢°ÍÉÙÄê×é Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My grades are down from A´s to D´s
I´m way behind in history
I lost myself in fantasies
Of you and me together

I don´t know why - I - I but dreaming´s all I do
I won´t get by-I-I on mere imagination
Upside down
Bouncing Off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I´ll go crazy if I can´t get next to you

My teacher says to concentrate
So what- his name was Peter the Great
The kings and queens will have to wait
'cause I don´t have forever

I wish that I - I - I could walk right up to you
Each time I try- I-I the same old hestitation

Upside down
Bouncing Off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I´ll go crazy if I can´t get next to you

Somehow someday
You will love me too
One day will be the day when all my dreams come true

Upside down
Bouncing Off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling




Got no clue what I should do
But I go crazy if I can´t get next to you

My academic performance has declined drastically from excellent grades to below average grades


I´m way behind in history
I am severely lagging behind in my history studies


I lost myself in fantasies
My thoughts are consumed with unrealistic daydreams


Of you and me together
Wherein you and I are romantically involved


I don´t know why - I - I but dreaming´s all I do
I don't have any idea why, but constantly daydreaming is all I ever do


I won´t get by-I-I on mere imagination
I cannot sustain myself by only imagining things


Upside down
I am feeling disoriented and confused


Bouncing Off the ceiling
I am feeling a range of heightened emotions


Inside out
My emotions are overwhelming me and causing me to feel disorganized


Stranger to this feeling
I am unfamiliar with these intense and confusing emotions


Got no clue what I should do
I am unsure of how to proceed


But I´ll go crazy if I can´t get next to you
If I don't have the opportunity to be close to you, it will drive me insane


My teacher says to concentrate
My teacher advises me to focus and pay attention


So what- his name was Peter the Great
But I don't care about his advice or his name


The kings and queens will have to wait
I'm not concerned with history because I have more pressing matters on my mind


'cause I don´t have forever
I am aware that time is fleeting and I can't waste it on things that don't matter to me


I wish that I - I - I could walk right up to you
I long to have the courage to approach you directly


Each time I try- I-I the same old hestitation
But every time I attempt to do so, I hesitate and struggle to find the right words


Somehow someday
One way or the other, at some time in the future


You will love me too
You will reciprocate my feelings of love


One day will be the day when all my dreams come true
At some point, my deepest desires and dreams will be realized


But I go crazy if I can´t get next to you
I cannot bear the thought of not being close to you

Who's to say what's impossible
Well, they forgot this world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks, reflections fade
But in some ways, they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
Who's to say I can't do everything
Well, I can try
And as I roll along, I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well, it all keeps spinning, spinning 'round and 'round and
Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found?
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Is this how it's supposed to be?
