Analysis of Hill of My Life
why is it that whenever i reach the top
i still manage to fall?
i try my best to get where i want
yet get nowhere at all
everything goes great, nothing goes wrong
but once i reach the peak,
my happiness is gone.
so back up the hill i must crawl.
slowly reaching the top once again
only to get there and fall.
