When I’m Up I Can’t Get Down (2008)
[Chorus]
When I'm up I can’t get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I’m up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
[Verse 1]
Exaltation
Sweet disintegration
A few discolourations
When it comes on strong
Up is what he chooses
The kisses and the bruises
There’s nothing he refuses
When it comes along
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes along
And I am lifted
I am lifted, I am lifted
[Chorus]
When I’m up I can't get down
Can’t get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I’m up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
[Fiddle Solo]
[Verse 2]
Something to blind him
Something to wind him up
Won't take long to find him
When it comes along
Wise guys are grinning
Streetlights are spinning
The night is just beginning
And it comes on strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Comes on strong
And I am lifted
I am lifted, I am lifted
[Chorus]
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Comes along
And I am lifted
Comes along
And I am lifted, I am lifted
[Chorus]
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
[Outro]
When I'm up I can't get down
When I'm up I can't get down
