i had a dream last night,
i didn't know which floor to get off on,
the doors, they open on 4 and 5 and 6,
and you were gone, all gone,
i didn't understand, i didn't want to know,
at least i took a chance,
i had to let it go

Elevator goes up,
elevator comes down,
and you just go with the flow,
till your feet are back on the ground
it's an endless ride,
sometimes it takes you up
sometimes it tears you down inside
but it's the butterflies
that keep you feeling so alive, so alive
you gotta get back that high

and in my dreams last night,
the door they finally shut,
and i was there, somewhere,
alone in my reality,
inside an empty box
that's filled with air,
but i don't care, no
next time i'll be alright,
next time i'll be ok,
i'll have a different dream tonight,
tomorrow's another day

elevator goes up,
elevator comes up,
and you just go with the flow,
till your feet are back on the ground
it's an endless ride,
sometimes it takes a while,
sometimes it tears you down inside
but it's the butterflies
that keep you feeling so alive, so alive
you gonna get back that high

you never know what you gonna get
what you don't expect
can come and find you
if you laugh or cry, if you run and hide
but it's alright

elevator goes up,
elevator comes down
but you just go with the flow
till your feet are back on the ground
it's endless ride,
sometimes it brings you up,
sometimes it tears you down inside
but its the butterflies
that keep you feeling so alive, so alive
you gotta get back that high.

high, high, high,
so alive, so alive,
you gotta get back that high
