Lyrics
I want you to be, I want you to see
What is up so high, What is up so high
You're so taken with the bugs and the mud and the stony ground
It's right over the wall, you're too afraid to fall
Because it's up so high. That's why it's up so high
Get over it
Up/Down Up/Down
Grass that's on your face, it's holding you in place
You think you're up so high, a little plastic sky
And it fades into a tickle in your throat and then some appetite
The only high you're known is bottled and home grown
It gets you up so high till you're over it
Up/Down Up/Down
You can love me looking up, but then I can't reach you
I can love you looking down, what's that gonna teach you
You've got your plans made for the big house on the hill
But you're lying in a pile of bricks and mortar still
Up/Down Up/Down
You know it's how you hold your head, you should be looking up instead
You could be up so high,
look up, look up, look up, look up, look up
Out of your despair, you could be coming up for air
You could be up so high; you could be over it.
Up/Down Up/Down Up/Down Up/Down
