[Verse 1]
I got the window half-drawn
And the ashtray full of ghosts
Your lighter made a small sun
On the edge of my coat
I was bent on the floorboards
Counting cracks like a prayer
Then you rolled in the evening
And the whole room went there
[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
I start to fade
Green in my mouth
And I like that way
[Chorus]
We go up, up, up
We go higher than the rain
We go up, up, up
Till the world feels far away
Leaf in my hand
And the trouble slips clean
We go up, up, up
You and me in the green
[Verse 2]
Got a laugh in my ribs now
Like a dog off the chain
Every thought's a firework
Breaking loose in my brain
Your eyes got that slow shine
Like a record half-spun
We were lost in the hour
Then we found we were one
[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
I start to fade
Green in my mouth
And I like that way
[Chorus]
We go up, up, up
We go higher than the rain
We go up, up, up
Till the world feels far away
Leaf in my hand
And the trouble slips clean
We go up, up, up
You and me in the green
[Bridge]
Time turns thin
Like a paper cup
Names get small
And the room lifts up
I can taste the dark
Then it turns to gold
Hold me close
Let the whole night fold
[Chorus]
We go up, up, up
We go higher than the rain
We go up, up, up
Till the world feels far away
Leaf in my hand
And the trouble slips clean
We go up, up, up
You and me in the green
[Outro]
Oh-oh, we rise
Oh-oh, we roll
Oh-oh, the night
Turns soft in my soul
