Lyrics

49 Floors - Craig Maierhofer

Verse 1
Walking over it
Taking steps to get away
Well I just got back from the limb
Maybe only yesterday
I couldn?t get away with it
It was in your eyes
Now the only thing that?s left
Is how to live out a lie
?Cause you move me baby
And then you tell me goodbye
And I?m only hanging
I?m just hanging on from

Chorus
Forty-nine floors above the ground
Man that?s a long elevator down
When it feels like you might
Never quite turn it around
Gonna feel alright now

Verse 2
Some shady company
The lady?s on to me tonight
?Cause even a blind man sees
With his eyes pressed against the light
But you get to me first
And I?m a little outplayed
A little bit too rehearsed
Like you knew what I would say
But you took me baby
Then you pushed me away
And I?m only trying
Trying to get back to you, to

Chorus

Bridge
You got me running
You got me running away

Verse 3
Broken and restrained
Choking on the reigns, that is all
What can you expect a man to do
With his back up against the wall?
Is there a little bit of mystery
In my eye?
Or is the little thing history?
Well I guess I?m not too surprised
?Cause you move me baby
And then you tell me goodbye
And there ain?t no sense in
Trying to get back to you

Chorus

49 Floors above the ground
It?s just like holy water coming down
Until it feels like, well it?s just like
All I can do is just drown in it all
I?m gonna drown in it all
?Cause I?m never gonna feel alright now, baby
Never gonna feel alright now, baby
Never gonna feel alright
