[Verse 1] Badge in my palm Coffee gone cool Name on the list By the lobby wall I watch my breath In the mirror line Tie my thoughts neat In the corner light [Pre-Chorus] Fifth floor glow I know the route Hands on the rail I’m coming through One slow blink Then I decide Leave the soft part Right outside [Chorus] Up I go, up I go Morning elevator Up I go, up I go Calm and ready later One more floor Then I’m in (Up I go) Let the day begin [Verse 2] Keycard warm Phone face down No more drifting Round and round Papers stacked Like little bricks I make a plan With a steady grip [Pre-Chorus] Fifth floor glow I know the route Hands on the rail I’m coming through One slow blink Then I decide Leave the soft part Right outside [Chorus] Up I go, up I go Morning elevator Up I go, up I go Calm and ready later One more floor Then I’m in (Up I go) Let the day begin [Bridge] For a minute, breathe Let the doors slide shut No need to rush I’ve got enough The building hums But I hear my name Soft in my chest Ready to change [Chorus] Up I go, up I go Morning elevator Up I go, up I go Calm and ready later One more floor Then I’m in (Up I go) Let the day begin
