Down In It lyrics

Song information

Lyrics

Kinda like a cloud I was up, way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
Sometimes I don't believe them myself and I decided I was never coming down

Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
It was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling me down

[Chorus:]
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

Shut up
So what what does it matter now
I was swimming in the hate now I crawl on the ground
And everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me
I try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
"I guess the joke's on me," she said

[Chorus]

I used to be so big and strong
I used to know my right from wrong
I used to never be afraid
I used to be somebody

I used to have something inside
Now just this hole it's open wide
Used to want it all
I used to be somebody

I'll cross my heart and hope to die
But the needle's already in my eye
And all the world's weight is on my back and I don't even know why
What I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

[Chorus]

Rain rain go away
Come again some other day

[Chorus]

Na na na na na na na na
