lyrics

Baby
We’re waiting for this elevator
We’re free
And going nowhere.
Jump in.
I know you’re going to thank me later.
We stand just off the first floor.

We’ll wait and wait.
For nothing.
We’ll wait and wait.
We’re nothing.

Just let the elevator raise the fire
Nothing here could take me higher
Let this be my dream come true
Just let the elevator raise the fire
Step into it, cut the wire
This is all there’s left to do.
I’m selfish you.

Baby,
I’m tired of writing albums for you.
Take three. You’re all the same.
You’ll see.
Let mid-summer rush inform you.
You’re free. Forget about me.

I’ll wait. And wait.
For nothing.
I’ll wait. And wait.
It’s nothing.

Just let the elevator raise the fire
Nothing here could take me higher
Let this be my dream come true
Just let the elevator raise the fire
Step into it, cut the wire
This is all there’s left to do.
I’m selfish you.

You’re not smart
Mind is bigger than your heart.
I’ll use you ‘til I get what I want.
You’re not smart
And were selfish from the start.
You used me just to get what you want.
I’m selfish you.

Just let the elevator raise the fire
Nothing here could take me higher
Let this be my dream come true
Just let the elevator raise the fire
Step into it, cut the wire
This is all there’s left to do.
I’m selfish you.
