What Goes Up

[Chorus]

What goes up, must come down

When this life goes round and round and round

It's all about the race to the top

I'm just waiting on the day when it's not

Sometimes high, sometimes low

Everyone's tryna find a place to go

When it's all about the fight to the finish

I'm just tryna go back to the beginning

[Verse 1]

I've got a mind that only starts when I stop

And a knack for jumpin' right off the top

And hoppin' to another hole worse than before

[?] to try to fix

Let's kickstart my soul

Tryna find the answer in the form of fists

Some look to drugs, others a crucifix

I'm looking for the star when the light stops

Like things might get better when things might not

I'm tryna plan my escape and hate

That I will hate all the decisions that I make

And laid a foundation that's so about to break

That it's better if I just turn back and walk away

And why stop even if the world is sayin' to

The shit I tell myself has got me stuck afraid to move

If you got an answer for me let me know

And I'll be sittin' right here waitin' for my wings to grow

[Chorus]

What goes up, must come down

When this life goes round and round and round

It's all about the race to the top

I'm just waiting on the day when it's not

Sometimes high, sometimes low

Everyone's tryna find a place to go

When it's all about the fight to the finish

I'm just tryna go back to the beginning

[Verse 2]

We spend money hopin' life is gonna make sense

And keep prayin' this job is gonna pay rent

I'm tryna figure out how to know if you're makin' it

With no degree and no frame to hang one in

I'm barely hanging in the moment now

I'm either in the past thinkin' "why" or in the future thinkin' "how"

Sweet silence, push so we can push back

And I'ma throw my whole life into this knapsack

We're past that, I could run but wouldn't make it far

So do me a favor, meet me at the nearest bar

We could talk about the good bad and in between

The words said and the feelings that we really mean

Like everything is just a fight to prove

What's the point of getting in the ring if you're destined to lose

I'ma just keep walking on this path alone

And if these wounds do grow I'm never comin' home

[Chorus]

What goes up, must come down

When this life goes round and round and round

It's all about the race to the top

I'm just waiting on the day when it's not

Sometimes high, sometimes low

Everyone's tryna find a place to go

When it's all about the fight to the finish

I'm just tryna go back to the beginning

What goes up, must come down

When this life goes round and round and round

It's all about the race to the top

I'm just waiting on the day when it's not

Sometimes high, sometimes low

Everyone's tryna find a place to go

When it's all about the fight to the finish

I'm just tryna go back to the beginning
