Elevator

Lyrics by Wilton. Music by Dittrich and Wilton. Arranged by Dwarf Nebula.

Went to a party against my will
No one else to hold me there for long until
You walked by; caught my I. Eye plied my skill
And you turned out to be
Exactly who I went there to meet
I hope we’ll get to take that ride to see.

I was drawn right to you by gravity’s pull
You’ve put me into orbit: I’m new, I wanna be full
Spending time with you is anything but dull
You’re the one I’m growing toward
I wanna be your whole dance card
So reach out, babe, don’t have to try to make it hard.

On the elevator: had to take a chance
We were on the rise. Wasn’t just in my pants.
Reached the top ‘n things were lookin’ up for romance.
On the first night we met
The way you kissed me I’ll never forget.
A tip of the slung that was so sweetly met.

Chorus:

Can we stay off the hook as we hook up
Entwined yet with no strings attached?
When our eyes met I wasn’t feeling regret
Hold my hand; I’m lit and I’m matched

I don’t care if you are gonna leave someday
Just put it out of you’re pretty head
We should really let that define our focus
And spend all of our free time in bed


I dunno why I take a chance with you
You say you’re not stayin.’ Does it somehow free you?
Tell me I’m your only you’re affectionate to
So how is it going to be?
Tell me in me what do you see?
Before your expiration date goes out on me.

Now I‘m in that stage; can’t get you out of my mind
I feel like I have somehow just left someone behind
No good at playing games; just puts me in a bind
Won’t you please put me at ease
Tell me that you’re not just a tease
Then we’re free to do together whatever we please.

Don’t want no expectations. I don’t want to care
A world of bliss and sorrow is waiting to be shared
We’ll keep it on the upside if we’re nicely paired
If we don’t give it the shaft
And say that it was only a laugh
Let’s let our curiosity be quaffed.

(Chorus)

Now I think I’ve just made a mess of things
I’ve let you know I’m ready for more than a fling
And maybe I have scared you off with what I sing
But what else can I do?
When there is just an absence of you
Whatever goes unrequited just consumes.

Think back to that night underneath the stars
It was just you and me and lots of cars.
When will you be happy right where you are?
What have you got to fear?
Let’s make the best of now and here
We can drive into the sunset without having to steer.

You put out the vibe. You got all my attention
I know you’ve been tapping in on my extension
I’m tellin’ you it’s too late for dissention
Don’t you flake on me today
And for as long you care to stay
Let’s not let pass by a perfect chance to play

(Chorus)
