"Up We Go" Lyrics:

Here, in a familiar place
We got our heads down
And we pretend it's cause the night is dark
And running out of space for us to run around
But it's a dead end and money's tight

And it's been a long time of this
Something has got to give

Everyone here is ready to go
It's been a hard year with nothing to show
From down this road
It's only on we go, on we go
Everyone here is ready to go
It's been a hard year and I only know
From down this low
It's only up we go, up we go

Let's get on another flight
Maybe set out to sea
Pick it up and shake our fist at it
Cause death is harder to come by than it is to breathe
When you got to make or break for it
 
Cause it's been a long time of this
Something has got to give

Everyone here is ready to go
It's been a hard year with nothing to show
From down this road
It's only on we go, on we go
Everyone here is ready to go
It's been a hard year and I only know
From down this low
It's only up we go, up we go

Nothing gives easy, easy gives nothing
I'm just trying to keep income coming in
Dawn is bound to break when the night is done
Always darker days before brighter ones

Everyone here is ready to go
It's been a hard year with nothing to show
From down this road
It's only on we go, on we go
Everyone here is ready to go
It's been a hard year and I only know
From down this low
It's only up we go, up we go

Lights - Up We Go [Official Music Video]

Canadian electropop pixie Lights returns with this one-take video for "Up We Go," which sees her stuck in an elevator, utterly oblivious to everything around her, including Lucha Libre wrestlers and their spandex clad buns. Lifted from her forthcoming third record, _Little Machines,_ "Up We Go" is perhaps her biggest banger to date&#x2014;sparkling, anthemic, amped up synthpop.

Lights had this to say about the tune and the video: &#x201c;I like to think that "Up We Go" is an anthem for that feeling of release we experience following a hard spell. It took a lot of moving parts to make this really ambitious one-take video shoot a success. While trying to choreograph the band, all the great extras, the fans we brought in, the set movements, the folks behind the camera, and my performance&#x2026; there were moments I thought it would be impossible. But everyone absolutely killed it. Everyone was just ready to go.&#x201d;
