Description
Girl's Got Altitude started off as a guitar riff that barely even made it into the finished track. It ended up being one of the catchiest things I've ever written. In between, there were a lot of edits and nights of sore ears on my parts.
Lyrics
Twenty odd years I was stuck in a daze Pulling on fixtures to get through this maze Changed all my numbers and grew out my hair I couldn't escape, I was already there Well I lost my way; she said "that's okay" The future don't matter outside of today She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound" Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground Don't look down, don't you make a sound Don't look down, baby, don't look down This morning I woke and I couldn't see my face I tore up my memories, did not leave a trace I'm stuck with these numbers and losing my hair There's just no escape when you're already there She says "it's okay, don't we all lose our way?" The future don't matter when it's time to play She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound" Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground Don't look down, don't you make a sound Don't look down, baby, don't look down
