Lyrics
Intro
Doors open
Step inside
---
Verse 1
Level one
Monday morning
Coffee cups
And nervous smiles
A young man checks
His reflection twice
Like confidence
Might arrive
At the next floor
---
Pre-Chorus
Up we go
Again
---
Chorus
Elevating
Floor by floor
Everybody thinks
They're heading somewhere more
Elevating
Up and down
Funny how life changes
Without a sound
---
Verse 2
Fourth floor
Flowers arriving
Eighth floor
Someone leaves
Tenth floor
A cardboard box
And twenty years
Packed neatly underneath
One arm
---
Pre-Chorus
Doors close
Stories continue
---
Chorus
Elevating
Day by day
Some are arriving
Some are on their way
Elevating
Through it all
The building keeps listening
As people rise and fall
---
Bridge – Rap
Job interview
Floor sixteen
New promotion
Corner suite
Lunch delivery
Maintenance crew
Somebody's first day
Somebody passing through
A birthday cake
A resignation letter
Nobody knows
Which floor gets better
Till they get there
---
Break
Going up
Going down
---
Verse 3
A woman laughs
Into her phone
A man stands quiet
With a wedding suit
A cleaner hums
The same melody
She's probably heard
More stories
Than anybody else
In the building
---
Pre-Chorus
Same elevator
Different lives
---
Final Chorus
Elevating
Year by year
Some dreams arrive
Some disappear
Elevating
Looking back
Nobody travels
In a straight line
Like that
Elevating
Here we are
Between where we started
And where we are
---
Outro
Doors open
Step outside
Next floor
