About this song in Lenka’s words:-
This was the last song i wrote for the EP. The flood gates were really open by this stage and i think with this one i’ve created a classic Lenka song, much like my early songs exploring the ups and downs of our own mental and emotional journeys. I do this so i can...
Here's a little thing I've noticed
Living with myself for so long
Every little bit of progress
Every little trip that I'm on
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, how the pendulum swings
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
What goes up
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Must come down
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
And what goes in
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Finds its way out
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Here's a little thing I'm learning
As I watch the years slip by
And I see the wheels keep turning
And they're leaving me behind
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, how it's pulling my strings
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
What goes up
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Must come down
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
And what goes in
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Finds its way out
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
It's simple, oh, so simple, I'm just
Tryna stay high
But gravity won't let me be
Won't let those stars lie
What goes up
Must come down
What goes in
Finds its way out
What goеs down
Finds its way out
I won't stay down
I'll find my way up
