Way Up
Jamila Woods Lyrics
I'm an alien from inner space
They can't read my mind all in my face
No one knows I'd rather spend my days
alone on my pillow
I don't care what they say
I've been waiting for so long
Call me by my name
They keep telling me I'm wrong
We are not the same
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I'm feeling high
My money's gone
Can't find my home
I wanna go
To my own private planet I've been dreaming of
Little moon in my head I be moving on
Up and away
Up and away
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
I'm rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
I'm rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up
I'm an alien from inner space
They can't read my mind all in my face
No one knows I'd rather spend my days
alone on my pillow
Earth's getting old
So color me gone
I'm ready to run
I'm rocket to sun
And it ain't so bad
So don't look so sad
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
And rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up
Just cos I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
And rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up (up and away)
I, I, ooh I, ooh I
They can't read my mind all in my face
No one knows I'd rather spend my days
alone on my pillow
I don't care what they say
I've been waiting for so long
Call me by my name
They keep telling me I'm wrong
We are not the same
I don't belong here
I'm feeling high
My money's gone
Can't find my home
I wanna go
To my own private planet I've been dreaming of
Little moon in my head I be moving on
Up and away
Up and away
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
I'm rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
I'm rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up
I'm an alien from inner space
They can't read my mind all in my face
No one knows I'd rather spend my days
alone on my pillow
Earth's getting old
So color me gone
I'm ready to run
I'm rocket to sun
And it ain't so bad
So don't look so sad
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
Just 'cause I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
And rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up
Just cos I'm born here
Don't mean I'm from here
I'm ready to run
And rocket to sun
I'm way up
I'm way up (up and away)
I, I, ooh I, ooh I
