top·side

noun

1.
the upper part of a ship's side, above the waterline.

lyrics:

aint no wrong side of the bed
when you're waking up warm and fed
set of lungs pumping breath
arm around your chest

aint no star that shines
longer than a finite time
you get one go around
feet barely touch the ground

and you're gone and you're dead

I never been one to rise
with hope singing out my eyes
but I'm learning to shift
my temperament a bit

I been above, I been below
I been flush, I been flat broke
sometimes this life just floats
other times it don't

I never been one to rise
with hope singing out my eyes
but I'm learning to shift
my temperament a bit
