about

1st song written & recorded for this EP. Back in 2011 I believe (!?).
Hence the 1st line, which is about all the setbacks & people who slow me down from chasing my dreams. It's about getting BACK up after being held down. Originally titled "Elevator Musique".

lyrics

VERSE 1
Five years past,
Still not living as fast as I'd like.
We should be achieving, with so much more without you.
I'm sorry to tell you "you're gone".
I need to spin out so you hear me clearly spit it out,
I have the will to spill my lungs still I won't back down.
We're back to square one, once again.
(Don't leave me behind).
See ya later, happily ever after...

CHORUS
Are you coming up? Are you going back down with me?
(Are you coming up?)
A coin toss either way, won't admit defeat.
You'll say "are you coming down?"
Do you wanna waste some time, it's free?
Are you coming up or are you going back down with me?

VERSE 2
What more can I say, that hasn't been done before?
"Try a little harder", I just can't do a thing right
(Sorry dude, I heard the news)
This heart of mine, is hard to find
A similar spark to brighten the dark at night.
When did the kid inside me, get frighten away, keep running away.
We used to be so out of our minds...

CHORUS 2
Are you coming up? Are you going back down with me?
I don't believe I can be anyone, but let's see (Carry on)
Do you wanna waste some time, it's free?
(On & on & on)
Are you coming up or are you going back down with me?

BRIDGE
Because in the end, I won't need a friend,
To tell me, if what I'm doing is right for me.
(Well I'm telling you!)

This is how, my life planned out
I thought by now that I'd figure you out,
But you've turned me upside down
And you're that I've got (Still I'll burn you out).

CHORUS 3
Are you coming up? Are you going back down with me?
I'm counting how many days, we're wasting away
Do you wanna waste sometime it's free? (On and on and on)
Are you coming up? Are you going back down with me?

CHORUS 4
Are you coming up? Are you going back down with me?
I don't believe I can be anyone…..but let's see.
Do you wanna waste some time, it's free?
(On & on & on)
Are you coming up?
Are you going back down with me?
(Hell yeah!)
