Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How'd it happen?

I know it started with a strong attraction

One disappointment caused a chain reaction

And I'm so tired of askin', are we okay, okay?

[Verse 2]

I, I can't keep tryin', don't compromise it

'Cause the stars are linin' up for once in my life

And you're on the ground when I'm climbin' mountains

[Verse 3]

So don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up

Then, baby, I am done

I've had enough

And I really need someone who lifts me up

So high, am I the only one who's tryin'?

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

[Verse 4]

'Cause you're always breakin' down

And I'm fed up

And I really need someone who lifts me up

Feels like I'm the only one who's tryin'

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

[Verse 5]

It's so tragic

You went and lost your fire and I'm all passion

And you're still makin' noise, but I hear static

But you love to hear me say, I'm not okay, okay

[Verse 6]

I, I can't keep tryin', don't compromise it

'Cause the stars are linin' up for once in my life

And you're on the ground when I'm climbin' mountains

[Verse 7]

So don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up

Then, baby, I am done

I've had enough

And I really need someone who lifts me up

So high, am I the only one who's tryin'?

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

[Verse 8]

'Cause you're always breakin' down

And I'm fed up

And I really need someone who lifts me up

Feels like I'm the only one who's tryin'

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

[Verse 9]

And I'm always chasin' a rush, rush, rush, rush

And you're sittin', gatherin' dust, dust, dust, dust

And maybe I'm expectin' too much, much, much, much

But I'm sick of keepin' you up

[Verse 10]

I'm always chasin' a rush, rush, rush, rush

And you're sittin', gatherin' dust, dust, dust, dust

And maybe I'm expectin' too much, much, much, much

But I'm sick of sayin', keep up

[Verse 11]

And I, I can't keep tryin', I'm done compromisin'

So don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up

Then, baby, I am done

I've had enough

And I really need someone who lifts me up

So high, am I the only one who's tryin'?

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

[Verse 12]

'Cause you're always breakin' down

And I'm fed up

And I really need someone who lifts me up

Feels like I'm the only one who's tryin'

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

Ooh, if you're wantin' my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up
