Up Down
Boy Epic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying not to lose a fight, burning in my eyes
In a mad mad world, I'm falling in
Little lost to go, trying to start again
Tick tock don′t stop
I'm breathing
And I'm barely breathing, but I follow, follow you down
I′m on my knees and spinning, up down, up down
Still fighting my demons, but I follow, follow you down
Through the glass I lose myself, in the darkest deep
Time is just a memory, with its sun′s on me
Oh, it's a mad mad world, I′m drowning in
Does anybody know, how to start again
Tick tock don't stop
I′m breathing
All that I see is, up down, up down
And I'm barely breathing, but I follow, follow you down
I′m on my knees and spinning, up down, up down
Still fighting my demons, but I follow, follow you down
Falling faster than heart's beating
Tick tock don't stop, I′m still breathing
Falling faster than heart′s beat
Tick tock don't stop, I′m still breathing
Yeah, I'm still breathing
All that I see is, up down, up down
And I′m barely breathing, but I follow, follow you down
I'm on my knees and spinning, up down, up down
Still fighting my demons, but I follow, follow you down
But I follow, follow you down...
