Up Up Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I watched it bend in my hands Like a note I couldn’t keep You said it’d settle down But it learned to skip and leap Every time I tried to hold It slid right through my grip Now the whole thing’s climbing fast Like it got a brand-new zip [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it in my chest When the floor starts to hum Thought it would go soft and slow But it never came undone [Chorus] It’s going up up up Instead of golden It’s going up up up And I’m still holding (still holding) I wanted warm and slow I got the wild in motion It’s going up up up Instead of golden [Verse 2] There’s a mark on the wall Where the old shape used to stay Now it’s higher than before Like it climbed out of the frame You blink and it’s above What you swore would stay below And the thing you wanted small Got a bigger place to grow [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it in my chest When the floor starts to hum Thought it would go soft and slow But it never came undone [Chorus] It’s going up up up Instead of golden It’s going up up up And I’m still holding (still holding) I wanted warm and slow I got the wild in motion It’s going up up up Instead of golden [Bridge] Maybe I was chasing shine Maybe I was chasing sleep What I lost was not the fall What I found was something steep So let it rise Let it run Let it pull me past the sun (past the sun) [Chorus] It’s going up up up Instead of golden It’s going up up up And I’m still holding (still holding) I wanted warm and slow I got the wild in motion It’s going up up up Instead of golden
