[Intro: ascending synth staircase] (up-up, never done) [808 pulse in odd meter] [Verse 1: syncopated melodic rap] I climbed a hundred steps to find this view Built a little heaven painted blue Everything I wanted waits inside But there's another staircase on the side (higher, higher) [Pre-Chorus: climbing falsetto] Every landing feels like home Until I see the steps unknown [Chorus: soaring ascending melody] There's always another floor Another window, another door I swear this time I'll settle down Then hear another staircase sound (ah-ah-ah, going up!) If happiness is where I stand Why do I keep reaching with my hands? [Drop: pitched chops, rising bass] (up-up, more-more!) [Glitch breakbeat, melodic cowbell] [Bridge: beat drops, whispered] I'm tired of climbing toward the sun And calling every landing incomplete What if the highest floor I find Still leaves a staircase in my mind? [Outro: descending harmonies] The view is perfect... Why am I looking up?
