Lyrics

    (Now I'm Down In It)
    (Now I'm Down In It)
    Kinda like a cloud, I was up
    Way up, In the sky
    And I was feeling some feelings
    That you wouldn't believe
    Sometimes I don't believe in myself
    And I decided I was never coming down

    Just then, a tiny little dot caught my eye
    I was just about to fall asleep
    I watched it for way too long
    It was pulling me down

    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    Now I'm Down In It
    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    (Now I'm Down In It)

    Shut up, So what?
    What does it matter now?
    I was swimming in the hate
    Now I crawl on the ground
    And everything I never liked about you
    Is kinda seeping into me
    I try to laugh about it now
    But isn't it funny
    How everything works out
    I guess the joke's on me

    (she said)
    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    (Now I'm Down In It)
    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    (Now I'm Down In It)

    I used to be
    So big and strong
    I used to know
    My right from wrong
    I never used to be afraid
    (I used to be somebody)

    I used to have
    Something inside
    Now it's just this hole
    That's open wide
    I used to want it all
    (I used to be somebody)

    I'll cross my heart, I'll hope to die
    But the needle's already in my eye
    All the world's weight is one my back
    And I don't even know why
    What I used to think was me
    Is just a faded memory
    I looked him right in the eye
    And said "Goodbye"

    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    Now I'm Down In It
    (Now I'm Down In It)
    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    (Now I'm Down In It)
    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    Now I'm Down In It
    I was up above it
    I was up above it

    (Rain, Rain, Go Away)
    (Come Again Some Other Day)
    (Rain, Rain, Go Away)
    (Come Again Some Other Day)
    (Rain, Rain, Go Away)
    (Come Again Some Other Day)

    I was up above it
    I was up above it
    Now I'm Down In It

    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    I was up above it
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
    NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
