Lifted Up (1985) Lyrics - Kindred - Passion Pit

Tell me what does it take to make good now 

How many years do you wait? 

Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining 

The flickering light's just a flame 

Oh but yeah, I'm so tired 

I've been away for so many years 

But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer 

I'll stay 'til they open the gates 

All my life I stay here waiting 

Every new year, always making me 

Feel as though there's nothing up there but 

One day you came out of nowhere 

1985 was a good year 

The sky broke apart and you appeared 

Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer 

I won't lie, I knew you would belong here 

Lifted off the ground 

I took your hands and pulled you down 

Because 1985 was a good year 

I won't lie, I knew you would belong here 

Oh well, how many years has it been now? 

How many days went to waste? 

Now the rain and the thunder are clashing 

The Sun's got a smile 'cross the face 

Oh, but yeah I'm so tired 

I fight so hard and come back beaten 

Beacon, burn through it brightly 

Soared through a sliver of space 

All my life I stay here waiting 

Every new year, always making me 

Feel as though there's nothing up there but 

One day you came out of nowhere 

1985 was a good year 

The sky broke apart and you appeared 

Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer 

I won't lie, I knew you would belong here 

Lifted off the ground 

I took your hands and pulled you down 

Because 1985 was a good year 

I won't lie, I knew you would belong here 

Lifted up 

Lift us back to the sky and the world above 

Lifted up 

Lifted up 

1985 was a good year 

The sky broke apart and you appeared 

Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer 

I won't lie, I knew you would belong here 

Lifted off the ground 

I took your hands and pulled you down 

Because 1985 was a good year 

I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
