Falling Up (feat. Sugar Bombshell)

lyrics

You know I've always kept my head down, out of the clouds
My feet planted squarely on solid ground
Even when it was all too hot, harsh, loud
But now that everything is falling
(falling up, now)
(falling up, now, yeah)
I hope I never come down

Everything is falling up
(Up so high)
Everything is falling up
(To the sky)
Everything is falling up
And everything is falling apart
So why, oh, why, does it feel so right
Why's there no hole in my heart

If they stay down there, let's ditch our families
Forget about the mountains and the seven seas
Say your goodbyes, 'cause in the skies we can do as we please
All I need is for my friends
(all my friends, now)
(you and them, now, yeah)
To come and float along with me

Everything is falling up
(Up so high)
Everything is falling up
(To the sky)
Maybe the bricks just don't fit
Together quite as well anymore
But who needs ceilings, walls or floors
When you can soar

So we don't lose each other, I'll hold you tight
As the sun rises down, gives way to night
The stars beneath us are a million thousand ten spotlights
And the closer we get
(closer we get)
(closer we get, get, get)
Things only get more bright

Everything is falling up
(Up so high)
Everything is falling up
(Past the sky)
Thought it would hurt more than this
Thought I might miss the ground
But I don't think that I'd complain
If we never come down
No I don't think that I'd complain
If we never come down
