Elevator
Kingsize Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love it here upon the rooftop
Me and you just singin' our lungs out
I'll be your Marvin Gaye
'n you'll be Tami Terrell

I drank the wine straight from your lips
So much for gettin' sober
Now I'm drunk on the winter wind
And we're fallin' over

Up - up - up - take the elevator
Up - up - up - take the elevator
Before the sun goes down
Before the sun goes down...

Down there the devil
He wanna crush the light
But here in your arms
We're winnin' the good fight

Let's stay just a little longer
Above the street
Soon I'll be off to soundcheck then...
We'll get 'em movin' their feet to the beat

(Chorus)

(Solo)

I wrote you a letter
Out upon the ledge
Spelled out in flower petals
'My love won't end.'

'n when I leave here
There won't be a day
That I ain't thinkin about you baby -
Prayin', 'Lord, I'm goin' down, you gotta take me way...'





(Chorus)
