Lifted Up (1985) Songtext
von Passion Pit

Tell me, what does it take to let go now?
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
That flickering light′s just a flame

Oh, but yeah, I'm so tired
I′ve been on wait for so many years
But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
I'll stay ′til they open the gates
Oh, but yeah

All my life I stayed here waiting like
Every new year always making me
Feel as though there′s nothing up there
One day you came out of nowhere


1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart then you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they called me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won′t lie, I knew you belonged here

Oh well, how many years has it been now?
How many days went to waste?
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
The sun's got a smile ′cross the face

Oh, but yeah, I'm so tired
I fight so hard and then come back beaten
But beacon, burn through it brightly
The soul through a sliver of space
Oh, but yeah

All my life I stayed here waiting like
Every new year always making me
Feel as though there′s nothing up there
One day you came out of nowhere


1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart then you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they called me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here

Lift up
Lift us back to the sky and the world above
Lift up
Lift up

1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart then you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they called me a dreamer
I won′t lie, I knew you belonged here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won′t lie, I knew you belonged here
