Elevator

If everything was the way I wanted it
I'd go to sleep
If everything was the way it ought to be
You'd lay here next to me.

But I am blocked in, I am held back
There's too much I question and too much I lack
I get in my own head, when I get off track
There's way too much tension and not enough slack.

Between us, between us
If I was an elevator
My rope would snap
Bye, bye
Bye, bye.

What are you looking at? I'm just tryin' to breathe
Ease up on me
Are you listening? Push the button please
Take us down to the lobby.

If you were an elevator
Your doors would freeze
You trapped me
How could you?

You thought you could just ride along for free
But you were wrong, you were wrong about me
If you thought you could just tell me who to be
You were wrong, you were wrong about me.

I am not your elevator
I'm more than that
Bye, bye
I am not your elevator
I'm smarter than that.

Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye.
