[English]

Woah, lift me higher

Woah, when I get down

Woah, lift me higher

Woah, oh

I swear to God that it might just be the death of me

Just count the reasons why I'm crazy, yeah, it's stressing me

I burn the pictures of myself like it could set me free

But I can't stop me 'cause I gotta reach my destiny, let go

I was dead, now I'm living because I've made my decision

No, I will not be a victim and I'm like yo

No, I don't need permission to elevate with decision

I'm 'bout to break through the ceiling

Cause I need something to lift me up when I'm down

I get lost in my head for so long, I can't get out

When I'm feeling like I'm crawling in my skin and sinking down

I need something to lift me up

I wanna elevate

...

Elevate

...

Watch me elevate

Woah, lift me higher

Woah, when I get down

Woah, lift me higher

Woah, oh (Watch me elevate)

I know they say that the best is always yet to come

But nothing happens, I can sit and wait until I'm numb

I get that feeling in my soul, then I cut and run

Cause I can't take another second, watch me elevate like "hey, yo"

Yeah, I'm taking this vision like a body is risen

No, I can't stop with this rhythm and I'm like "hey, yo"

No, I might need a prison, I won't succumb to these feelings

They keep attacking my feelings

I need something to lift me up when I'm down

I get lost in my head for so long, I can't get out

When I'm feeling like I'm crawling in my skin and sinking down

I need something to lift me up

I wanna elevate

...

Elevate

...

Watch me elevate like high

Woah, lift me higher

Woah, when I get down (Elevate)

Woah, lift me higher

Woah, oh (I wanna elevate)
