Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's 2 o'clock on the edge of the morning
She's running magical circles around my head
I hitch a ride on a dream she's driving
She turns to kiss me, I crash back into bed
[Verse 2]
Across the street on a grayed-out Monday
I see the girl with the eyes I can't describe
And suddenly, it's a perfect Sunday
And everything is more real than life
[PreChorus]
I think I'm back in the dream
I think I'm back on the ceiling
It's such a beautiful feeling
[Chorus]
Going up
She lights me up
She breaks me up
She lifts me up
[Verse 3]
You find a mixture of bounding perfection
You've gotta read but you don't wanna reach the end
'Cause what if everything beautiful's fiction?
And this reality's just pretend?
[PreChorus]
And then I'm back in the dream
I'm looking up at the ceiling
It's such a beautiful feeling
[Chorus]
Going up
She lights me up
She breaks me up
She lifts me up
[Bridge]
Up to the stars, she shows me
Dame Street, Georgia Street, miles below me
Up and the world won't let us down
[Chorus]
Going up
She lights me up
She breaks me up
She lifts me up
