No One Above You
Marcus King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sinking down into the sea
The night is almost dead and gone
They're all asleep now it's just you and me
You and me to watch the sunrise
I remember everything
Like it was just yesterday
You turned to me and said let's' steal away
Steal away to watch the sunset
Everything about you is ten feet tall
There is no one above you
I know that it's true
And everyone around you
They all feel it too
There is no one above you
Everybody loves you
I recall not long ago
I would see you in the street
You'd pass me by without a word
I thought one day if you'd just look at me
Look at me then you would know
Everything about you is ten feet tall
There is no one above you
I know that it's true
Everyone around you they all feel it too
There is no one above you
Everybody loves you
There is no one above you
Everybody loves you

Come and watch the evening go
Come and join me in watching the sun setting into the sea
Sinking down into the sea
Describing the sun setting on the horizon of the ocean
The night is almost dead and gone
Referring to the end of the night and the arrival of day
They're all asleep now it's just you and me
Everyone is sleeping except for us, and we can enjoy the moment together
You and me to watch the sunrise
We will watch the sun rise together
I remember everything
Recalling every moment spent together
Like it was just yesterday
Memories are still fresh in my mind like they happened yesterday
Looking for some songs to sing
Searching for some music to accompany the sunset
You turned to me and said let's steal away
You suggested we escape from reality and cherish the moment together
Steal away to watch the sunset
Run away for a moment to admire the beauty of the sunset
Everything about you is ten feet tall
You are amazing and incredible in every aspect
There is no one above you
You are the best and nobody can outshine you
I know that it's true
I am confident in your superiority
And everyone around you
People who surround you
They all feel it too
They also recognize your greatness
Everybody loves you
Everyone adores you
I recall not long ago
Remembering a past encounter
I would see you in the street
Noticing you in public places
You'd pass me by without a word
Walking past without acknowledging or greeting me
I thought one day if you'd just look at me
Hoping for a chance to be recognized and seen by you
Look at me then you would know
If you take a moment to notice me, you will realize how amazing I am

This young man's been around a whole lot longer than his body. He writes music as though he has lived a lot of life in a very short time. Truly one of the best out there. What a gift.
