Tripped Up from Signals by Chasin' the Train

Walking down the road
Not caring where I’m going
Everything is looking fine
Life is going easy, feeling bright and breezy
Got nothing going round in my mind
Ooh, I got tripped up
Aah, I got tripped up

My way ahead is clear
Got no obstacles to fear
Each step I take is steady and wide
Building up the miles
Meet whatever with a smile
Got no reason to curl up and hide
Ooh, I got tripped up
Aah, I got tripped up

That won’t happen any more
I’ve seen too many times
With me crawling on the floor
Dirt in my mouth, people stop and stare
And when I look around, nobody was there
I got tripped up

I can do my job with ease
I am happy just to please
I feel like I can touch the sky
Got no pain or hunger
No thoughts of going under
Confidence is soaring high
Ooh, I got tripped up
Aah, I got tripped up

Happiness and gladness
Never any sadness
Together we will never part
Sunset’s always golden
A promise never broken
I thought I gave you all of my heart
Ooh, I got tripped up
Aah, I got tripped up

That won’t happen any more
I’ve seen so many times
With you walking out the door
My heart in your hands and you don’t even care
Cos when I looked around, nobody was there
I got tripped up

They say pride always comes before a fall
No matter who you are, no matter how tall
It came up from behind and caught me up
Ooh, baby, I got tripped up

Ooh, I got tripped up
Aah, I got tripped up

That won’t happen any more
I’ve seen so many times
With me crawling on the floor
Dirt in my mouth, people stop and stare
But when I look around nobody was there
That won’t happen any more
I’ve seen so many times
With you walking out the door
My heart in your hands and you don’t even care
But when I looked around nobody was there
I got tripped up

I got tripped up
I got tripped up
I got tripped up
I got tripped up
I tripped me up
