[Intro]
(Hey)
[Verse 1]
I heard the music through the walls, I felt the bass, uh
I felt you here before I even saw your face
No, it ain't the bubbles, it's your wave
Sugar-coated, triple-glazed
Down there below us, I see Heaven miles away
Ain't scared of heights, no gravity in outer space
On another level, elevate
How ya fit me, tailor-made
[Pre-Chorus]
Stimulated when the tempo changing
Oh, I can't explain it, tell me, what's this feeling?
[Chorus]
It's taking me higher
Though we can't get higher
But we keep
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up (Uh)
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up
It's taking me higher
Though we can't get higher (Get much higher)
But we keep
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up (Uh, hey)
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up
[Verse 2]
Don't know where we're going, but I'm comfortable
Feeling outta body, you can take my soul
Light speed energy, straight G-force
No bland plates when you got hot sauce (That's facts)
Never had it like that (So bad)
No, I never go back (So fast)
Even if it gon' crash, I'm gon' make it last
[Pre-Chorus]
Stimulated when the tempo changing
Oh, I can't explain it, tell me, what's this feeling?
[Chorus]
It's taking me higher (Oh, it's taking me)
Though we can't get higher
But we keep
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up (I keep going)
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up
It's taking me higher (Woah, it's taking me higher)
Though we can't get higher (Get much higher)
But we keep
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up (Uh, hey)
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up
[Bridge]
Skywalking, we elevate
Oh, tonight you might make me fly away
Skywalking, we elevate
Oh, tonight you might make me fly away
Let's elevate
Tonight you might make me, oh
[Chorus]
It's taking me higher
Though we can't get higher
But we keep
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up (We keep going)
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up
It's taking me higher
Though we can't get higher (Get much higher)
But we keep
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up (Going up, going up, going up)
Going up, going up, going up, going up, going up
[Outro]
Oh, yeah

I wanted to make a feel-good song. It was a feeling more than anything. I think it was everything I’ve spoken about, from my demons to the angels to the battle. Me figuring a lot of things out of what makes me tick and what makes me feel good and what makes me a better person in general. When you re...
