Upside Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I wanna 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I wanna 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
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
[Chorus]
I wanna 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I wanna 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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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?
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
[Outro]
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?
About
Genius Annotation
Johnson recorded the soundtrack for the 2006 movie Curious George. This song went well with the movie, as Curious George was a monkey who was often hanging upside down and looking on the world in wonderment. The song had appeal far beyond the movie, as the gentle message of looking at things from a different perspective resonated with listeners.
It was also released as a single in February 2006. It peaked at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Johnson’s sole US Top 40 hit until “You and Your Heart” in 2010
It has been certified Platinum by the RIAA for sales of over 1,000,000 in the US alone.
