lyrics

Reaching up from the pavement
Cold hands cracked face
I could feel the silence below
As I looked, I could finally trace

My way back through the dark
Nobody's around
I felt free as I could be
Just my feet and the ground

It would be one step in the right direction
If I didn't have your protection
Just your respect when I call

I don't know why you treat me like a new invention
Terrified of my ascension
I get back up if I fall

You always held my hand too tight
Walking too fast for my stride
Everything I told you I wanted to be
Was slowly swept aside

Flying up through the sky
It never looked so blue
Everything you told me was a lie
But I know you believed it too

It would be one step in the right direction,
If I didn't have your protection
Just your respect when I call
I don't know why you treat me like a new invention
Terrified of my ascension
I get back up if I fall

I'm burning down the walls and
Smoke is filling up the halls it's
Making it's way to you
I come tumbling down oh
When I finally hit the ground
I'll get up, get up, get out

It would be one step in the right direction
If I didn't have your protection
Just your respect when I call
And I don't know why you treat me like a new invention
Terrified of my ascension
I get back up if I fall

I get back up I get back up
I get back up
I get back up if I fall

I get back up I get back up
I get back up
I get back up if I fall

Emily Best Vancouver, British Columbia

A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Vancouver B.C., Emily Best’s distinctive melodies and orchestral leanings paint a backdrop that intermingles the driving energy of jazz and rock with the familiar nostalgia of 1960's southern country-soul. Her songwriting delves unassumingly through jazz, pop, folk and rock with earnest lyricism that ponders the human condition. ... more
