Up & Down
Mark & Adam Lyrics

Over there my main thang
Referring to a woman as his main girl from that side of the room

I call her my main Jane
A nickname for his main girl, similar to Tarzan's love interest Jane

That’s because she maintain
He calls her that because she maintains her appearance and takes care of herself

Crystallized honey
Her appearance is so sweet and perfect, it's like crystallized honey

Think she like my last name
He thinks she wants to marry him and take his last name

Looking for a big change
He is ready for a big change in his life, possibly with her

Flowers on a big stage
A grand romantic gesture, like flowers on a big stage

Little ceremony
A small intimate wedding ceremony

Tell me the do’s and don’ts
Asking for guidance and advice on how to act in the relationship

Show me your needs and wants
Asking what his partner needs and wants in order to make them happy

Hold up a sign I want to help you explore
He wants to be helpful in exploring who she is as a person

For now pick one
Choosing a direction in life with his partner

Make your luck
Take advantage of any opportunity to create your own luck

Prepare mind and body to be come undone
Mentally and physically preparing himself for the possibility of heartbreak

And I picked one
He's made a choice and is committed to his partner

Found my love
He has finally found true love

Prepared my whole life to get you now I’m up
He has been working towards finding love his whole life and now he's finally happy

Ups and downs (they got me)
The highs and lows of life have affected him

Asking how (from my sleep)
He is asking how he can improve his life while still feeling like he's asleep

Wake me now
He needs something, or someone, to help wake him up and improve his life

If it’s never everlasting
Asking if love will last forever or if it's fleeting

Lovers when we’re sober
They enjoy each other's company without the need for alcohol or other substances

Don’t need drink to hold her
He can hold her and be content without the need for alcohol

Tryna be the solar
He wants to be her guiding light

For your energy
He wants to be with her and gain energy from her presence

I see nothing but light
He only sees positive things in their relationship

I don’t see any reason why
He can't think of any negative aspects of their relationship

You’ve never seen yourself like I
He sees her as more beautiful and perfect than she sees herself

Do whatever you want tonight
He trusts her to make her own choices and wants her to enjoy herself
