X Ambassadors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take it out on me
Try to help out, you push back, you push back
You take it out on me
No matter what, you know that, you know that

I will lift you up
For now and forever
I will lift you up
'Til you're light as a feather
I know times are tough
When you're under pressure
I will lift you up
'Til you're light as a feather
I will lift you up

I know you need somebody
Try to act like it's alright, it's alright
'Cause when you need somebody
No matter what, you know I, you know I

I will lift you up
For now and forever
I will lift you up
'Til you're light as a feather
I know times are tough
When you're under pressure
I will lift you up
'Til you're light as a feather
I will lift you up

(I will lift you up)
(I will lift you up)

I will lift you up
For now and forever
I will lift you up
'Til you're light as a feather
I know times are tough
When you're under pressure
I will lift you up




'Til you're light as a feather
I will lift you up
