You watch the seconds go by, there's not enough time on the clock
I'm inhaling quick and breathless, I got tired of hearing myself talk
Signs have already faded, I'm changing all my maps
Cause the stars never lit up and showed me the way
They never spoke to me of love
I wait till I knock on my door and decide to treat me right
I'm not wearing a mask and I don't know what to say
But follow my face, since I didn't come across heavenly beings
I look for paradise where I was sitting
I didn't search for treasures or to be given a crown
And everything that goes up must come down
And everything that goes up
Standing still I'm waiting for my big break to come
The wrinkles took hold of my face, they said they'd never come
Fear kept me from moving, always going in reverse
If I don't read it to all I've been asking, better to just shut up
I wait till I knock on my door and decide to treat me right
I'm not wearing a mask and I don't know what to say
But follow my face, since I didn't come across heavenly beings
I look for paradise where I was sitting
I didn't search for treasures or to be given a crown
And everything that goes up must come down
And everything that goes up must come down
Always keeping me down when I'm trying to rise up and take to the sky
But don't you try to hold me back when I need to stand tall and fine
What goes up must come down, must come down, start to flare again
The one who deals the cards has not to sit in and play
Since I didn't come across heavenly beings
I look for paradise where I was sitting
I didn't search for treasures or to be given a crown
And everything that goes up must come down
And everything that goes up must come down
And everything that goes up must come down
