What Goes Up is Watsky’s desire to hold on to the high that the beginning of a passionate relationship consists of, and to keep it from the stages of the troublesome trials that come with the endurance of a relationship.
He plays with cliches like “what goes up must come down,” hoping that this rela...
[Chorus]
It's too nice out
Let's play hooky
And get high 'til we both float away
We won't show today
Doesn't matter what they say
What goes up can stay (Uh, uh)
[Verse 1]
If you tell me I'm the one
While we're lying in the sun
Would you sign it on a piece of paper?
Do you know what you're about?
Could we live beyond our doubts
In a world where we don't need erasers?
Could you ever love a thief?
Can I steal away your grief
And suspend your disbelief?
Let's put on a show
'Cause it's never what you say
No, it's always in the way
That you say what you mean
Oh, oh, oh
Wrap your legs around my back
And hold me tight until we're talkin' in tongues
Then when we pass the spirit
We can yell forever at the top of our lungs
[Pre-Chorus]
Just float
Just float
Just float
[Chorus]
It's too nice out
Let's play hooky
And get high 'til we both float away
We won't show today
Doesn't matter what they say
What goes up can stay
[Verse 2]
Don't sweat the goons
All we do is crack a smile
When we hear 'em callin'
"You should go get a room"
Ever stop to think the pollen in the air
Is from all the flowers fuckin' each other?
But why not let them bloom?
Let's get consumed
Outside, outside, outside
Inside o' you
So forget me not
We're doin' trust falls
Up at the mountaintop
C'mon, don't let me drop
Now that we've found a spot
And when we swung high on the pendulum
We just hung there in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Just float
Just float
Just float
[Chorus]
It's too nice out
Let's play hooky
And get high 'til we both float away
We won't show today
Doesn't matter what they say
What goes up can stay
