Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We live on a mountain

Right at the top

This beautiful view

From the top of the mountain

[Verse 2]

Every morning, I walk towards the edge

And throw little things off

Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery

Or whatever I find laying around

It's become a habit

A way to start the day

[Chorus]

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you

[Chorus]

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you

[Verse 3]

It's early morning

No one is awake

I'm back at my cliff

Still throwing things off

[Verse 4]

I listen to the sounds they make

On their way down

I follow with my eyes till they crash

I imagine what my body would sound like

Slammin' against those rocks

And when it lands

Will my eyes be closed or open?

[Chorus]

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you

[Chorus]

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you

[Chorus]

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you

[Outro]

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here)
