[Verse 1]
You want to take me up
I have always been
Afraid of heights
My body knows
When I am off the ground
Whether I am looking up
Or looking down
[Chorus]
And you say it's worth it for the view
For the view
And you say it's worth it for the view
For the view
[Verse 2]
Later on I try to write it
Giving up
The meaning is too obvious
My consciousness
Attempts to classify
Like an animal cloud
In a meaningless sky
[Bridge]
If I am the woman
You are the staircase
I am the woman
Fear is the window
And I am the woman
Climbing is living
I am the woman
Fear is the window
And I am the woman
You are the staircase
I am the woman
Fear is the window
And I am the woman
I am the woman
[Chorus]
You say it's worth it for the view
For the view (what or who is the view)
You say it's worth it for the view
For the view (what or who is the view)
And you say it's worth it for the view
For the view (what or who is the view, is the view)

This song’s central metaphor likens the deepening of a relationship to the feeling of ascending to the top of a very tall place. There’s something to be seen (or learned, or experienced) once you arrive, but for some there is also a fear that increases with every step upwards. You say it’s worth it...
