about

This is based on a quote I love so much:

"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs, but by how high he bounces when he hits rock bottom" - George Patton

I think that quote is very profound and not really how success is popularly judged in this world. I feel like I am bouncin' back from a lot of failure and that is success in itself

lyrics

Even if I hit rock bottom
I'll Still Be Bouncin' Back (x3)
Still Be Bouncin' back
I am always bouncin' back

life is full of ups and downs
smile and frowns
hear me now
sometimes it might knock you out
on the ground
hear me out
in my head thoughts bounce around
when my soul is feeling down
but right back again I bounce
so don't ever count me out
my story's far from over
this is the life and times of Karl Nova
to my destiny I draw closer
though it looks sketchy I told ya
when I'm at the end of my rope
somehow deep inside I find hope
with all of this pressure I cope
I swallowed my pride and I didn't choke

Sometimes it feels like they're waiting
waiting for you to drop [x4]

Even if you drop
somehow you bounce back to the top [x4]

Even if I hit rock bottom
I'll Still Be Bouncin' Back (x3)
Still Be Bouncin' back
I am always bouncin' back

Bouncin' back, bouncin' back
I am always bouncin' back

Life is full of highs and lows
friends and foes
joys and woes
sometimes it delivers blows
aching souls
against the ropes
like Ali I rope a dope
punch drunk lump in my throat
but somehow I soar and float
walk on water leave the boat
when I've more or less given up
something inside me has risen up
i hit rock bottom and found the rock
when I was stuck, caught in a rut
i ate humble pie and bit the dust
thrown under the bus who can I trust?
sometimes it is all too much
but I bounced back and I got back up

Sometimes it feels like they're waiting
waiting for you to drop [x4]

Even if you drop
somehow you bounce back to the top [x4]

Even if I hit rock bottom
I'll Still Be Bouncin' Back (x3)
Still Be Bouncin' back
I am always bouncin' back

Bouncin' back, bouncin' back
I am always bouncin' back
