[Verse 1] everything's not perfect but things are sure looking up sometimes it just takes a little hooking up to get your head right and pay attention to hindsight do a little soul searching and find yourself again sometimes it takes a jolt to the system or what seems like a setback at the time to help realize what's important and get back online I thought you were going to be a lot of things to me [Pre-Chorus] and then you were mean to me it shocked my system and shook me to the core I think I was in love with the idea of more [Chorus] high five, high five I'm back on my feet high five, high five that pain set me free (high five) high five, high five now I know where to look (high five) I got the lesson I had to take the hook [Verse 2] that pain just opened the door sparked a little excitement life is no longer a bore being with you made me realize a thing or two about me and you it showed me what you were and more importantly what you weren't and probably saved me from getting burnt so high five to that now I know where to put my money at I'm not betting on black and falling back I'm going to bet on red get right in the head and collect my ends you had me low [Pre-Chorus] I didn't know where to go but without you by my side gave me some space to see what you hide and remind me when you lied I'm not saying you didn't do your best I'm not saying you hadn't tried I'm just saying I had to decide [Chorus] high five, high five I'm back on my feet high five, high five that pain set me free (high five) high five, high five now I know where to look (high five) I got the lesson I had to take the hook [Bridge] whether I wanted to be another one of your toys just one of the boys or be a boss and get back on top and makes it pop well it started and it's not about to stop [Final Chorus] high five, high five put it in drive high five, high five it's time to fly (high five) choke em out they're going to shout when they see the brand see them all with reached out hands high five, high five I remember this life high five, high five I got to give credit where credit is due (high five) I couldn't have done it without the hurt from you sometimes it takes a shock to the system to change things for the better
