Francis Lung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up and down
It′s always up and down with you
Oh yes it's true
So up and down the walls we go
Swimming around up high and low
Baby I know you want me too
But it′s always up and down with you
And when I'm low, baby
It may not show baby
But if you see me feeling blue
Baby you know I want you too
It's always up and down with you
I′m feeling down (Don′t be so down)
Yeah I'm feeling down (Don′t be so down)
I felt so happy here with you, love with you
But it's always up and down with you
I don′t know where I was when you called
I guess I was out
Wishing and wishing that you'd say goodbye
Now I wanna cry, I wanna cry
I wanna cry
Yeah
And when I′m low, baby
It may not show, baby
But if you see me feeling blue
Baby you know I won't feel that it's you
It′s always up and down with
It′s always up and down with
It's always up and down with you
The song "Up & Down" by Francis Lung is a plea to a lover to make their relationship less tumultuous. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is characterized by emotional swings - sometimes being high and other times feeling low. The refrain, "It's always up and down with you," repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the instability of the relationship. The lyrics describe the lover's desire for one another, despite the difficulties they experience together. When feeling low, the singer still wants the lover, even though they may not show it.
The verses of the song paint a picture of the couple moving up and down the walls, swimming around both high and low, emphasizing the ups and downs of the relationship. The bridge shifts the tone of the song to a more melancholy feel as the singer reveals they were hoping for a goodbye, but now they feel like crying. The song ends with the singer repeating the refrain, driving home the message that while they may feel down at times, they still want to be with their lover.
In summary, "Up & Down" is a song about the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics show the highs and lows of being in a relationship and how the singer feels about it. They wish for stability in their relationship, but they can't help the way they feel towards their lover.
