The Turning Album: Learning To Lose Track: Lift You Down
Lift You Down Lyrics
When you're reaching for the sky Do you ever wonder why You always come up empty But it's still so tempting It's the same old story
Chorus: Summers pass You tell yourself you're changing Free at last cause now you're rearranging All that was it hurts because Sleepless nights Remind you that you're standing Still between the jump And where you're landing Sight and sound will lift you down
Fires bum for just one night They only give off so much light Do you really need that Or are you trying to feed that Hunger deep within you
You'll never fill that space Time cannot erase The emptiness that makes you numb Search for something real Maybe then you'd feel the son
By Jacob McGinnis, Matt Warren and Robert Ellis Oral
Song Description: "'Lift You Down' was inspired by the "give it to me now" attitude that we often have. It was a song that we thought would never make it to the public. Nathan (our producer) heard it and said he loved it and thought the world needed to hear this song. I think spinning your wheels-spiritually speaking-and feeling stuck between a jump and a landing is a common human emotion. Matt and I were blessed to be able to co-write this song with an amazing writer named Robert Ellis Oral. He helped us stretch out of our typical mold so that we could write an amazing song that adds some variety to the album." - Jacob McGinnis (The Turning)
