[Verse 1]
Streetlights are going out all over town, and I might know why
My feet are picking up off the ground, the way I recognize
[Pre-Chorus]
My hometown flickering underneath my shoes
All the height in the world and I'm sick from the altitude
[Chorus]
And I'll be floating for the whole damn night
I'll be floating for the whole damn night
Something's in the corner of my eye
But I couldn't turn my head an inch to save my life
[Verse 2]
They left their cars running right on the road with the keys inside
The same Twilight Zone episode, I've got it memorized
[Pre-Chorus]
The view from twenty-thousand feet Is looking bleak
And my hometown's black and white like the mountain peaks
[Chorus]
And I'll be floating for the whole damn night
I'll be floating for the whole damn night
Something's in the corner of my eye
But I couldn't turn my head an inch to save my life
When I fall I don't remember anything at all
But something's in the corner of my eye
Staring all the time there no matter what I try
[Bridge]
Don't look down, don't look down
I know you wanted, you wanted, you wanted to
Don't look down, don't look down
I know you wanted, I know you wanted to
Don't look down, don't look down
I know you wanted, you wanted, you wanted to
Don't look down, don't look down
I know you wanted, you wanted, you wanted to
It goes away, it goes away
If you want, if you want, if you want it to
But you smile, and you stay
'Cause you wanted, you wanted, you wanted
[Refrain]
Streetlights are going out all over town
And I don't know why
My feet are picking up off the ground
[Chorus]
And I'll be floating for the whole damn night
I'll be floating for the whole damn night
Something's in the corner of my eye
But I couldn't turn my head an inch to save my life
When I fall I don't remember anything at all
But something's in the corner of my eye
Staring all the time there no matter what I try

It’s about a feeling – like coasting, floating, or sliding. I’ve dealt with depression for fifteen years, and there’s some argument for pushing back at the darkest points. But there’s also this bliss to letting go of your footing. This dreamy concentration comes wrapped around sorrow. “Altitude” des...
