Lyrics

Up

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's getting slow all around

You hear warping in your sound

You feel your heart stop and start

But now it's racing to the ground

So many highs, so many lows

You feel that rushing in your toes

You've seen this on TV

Forgot to ask Frank exactly how it goes

You feel the music touch your skin

Something is bursting from within

Never in the world should this stop

Once you drop the only way is up

[Instrumental Build]

[Pre-Drop]

Up

[Drop]

Once you drop the only way is up

Once you drop the only way is

[Verse 2]

I've never been in love in my life

But now I know what it might feel like

This feeling from inside me might

Implode on itself, and reach a higher high

The bass drum hits my spine

Rattles through the filthy bass line

Never in the world should this stop

Once you drop the only way is up

[Instrumental Build]

[Pre-Drop]

Up

[Drop]

Once you drop the only way is up

Once you drop the only way is

[Outro]

Free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Set free your mind

Once you drop the only way is up
