A punk pop dance song (really) built on flirtation, wit, and playful danger.
Dedicated to two dear people we know all too well, living in the tension: love, adrenaline, or just one more night. Written fast, performed for a lifetime.
“Hi... are you... up?”
We go down, the only way is up
Crash and burn, still light it up
Play it cool, but feel the rush
We go down, so we dress it up!
I cash in, you add up
I drop hints, you crack up
You fall hard, I back up
We go down, then act up
You dream big, I wake up
Say “don’t go”, I make up
Call it love, call it lust
Call it art, then turn it up
We go down, the only way is up
No way out, so we dress it up
Hide the mess beneath the blush
We go down, the only way is up!
The only way is up, or so they say
Up like the rent, up like cliché
Up like a post you made today
Just press your pain and scroll away
We’re up for grabs, we’re up for show
Up in the feed with nowhere to go
Up all night in the same old glow
Don’t ask why, just go with the flow
We go down, the only way is up
Crash and burn, still light it up
Say too much, then call it love
We go down, so we dress it up!
I dressed wild, then turned up
Told your friend we might hook up
Danced on glass, then slipped up
Now they say I fucked up
Stole the mic and froze up
Kissed a stranger, close-up
Dropped the beat, then threw up
Guess I got a little too wound up
We go down, the only way is up
Crash and burn, still light it up
Say too much, then call it love
We go down, so we dress it up!
We go down, the only way is up
No way out, still dress it up
Make it pretty, make it hurt
We go down, the only way is up!
We go down, the only way is up
Crash and burn, still light it up
Say too much, then call it love
We go down, so we dress it up!
“Hi, here’s HOTMAN. Keep it up.”
