Elevator Hum Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't quite explain
This hole in my brain that's come around again
The West Hampstead Reds
Send me to bed and head off out again
Some things have to change
Some things are to blame for almost everything
Some boys grow in shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't play that game
[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe (I want you, I want you to)
You're just like me (I want you to)
[Verse 2]
Just another California tongue
Prove me wrong, but I think they all sound the same
It doesn't matter where you're from
Talking that way, now
Listen to the elevator hum
The mechanism is breaking down again
Don't you tell my mum
[Pre-Chorus]
No, don't play that game
[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe
You're just like me
[Bridge]
(I want you to, I want you)
(Want you to, I want you)
(I want you to, I want you)
(I want you to)
[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to believe (I want you to)
You're just like me (I want you to, I want you)
I want you to believe (I want you to, I want you)
You're just like me
I want you to be free (I want you to, I want you to)
To be happy (I want you to, I want)
I want you to believe (I want you to, I want you to)
You're just like me

What have the artists said about the song?
‘Elevator Hum’ was a tune that came in the latter stages of my first trip to LA working on the album with Luca. He threw the chords down and the riff fell into my hands.
It’s a song that felt like it captured some nostalgic essence of friendship as we built a relationship through creating music tog...
What did Declan McKenna say about "Elevator Hum"?
It’s a real statement piece for the album. I almost originally thought it might be the first song on the album because it’s kind of asking you to open up and just let go while you’re listening to the album. ‘I want you to believe/You’re just like me’, to become one with me right now. There’s somethi...
