Vertical

I kept every message that you wrote
Remember just enough to misquote
I always saw you from the top-down
Laughing at me like the class clown

Do you still have the medals that you won
That makes you first class, second to no one
I never meant to follow your lead
After a while it got the best of me

Lately
I've been running around
Tryna get my feet off the ground
But I've got no vertical
Yeah, I'm finding
All these streets have no name
Every corner's looking the same
Like I'm running in circles
Running in circles

I've been running round
Can't get off the ground
Like I've got no vertical

Looking out with parallel eyes
There's no difference going left, going right
Whoa, the world's moving under my feet
Oh, every step dancing to the beat

Lately
I've been running around
Tryna get my feet off the ground
But I've got no vertical
Yeah, I'm finding
All these streets have no name
Every corner's looking the same
Like I'm running in circles
Running in circles

Cut me loose, take me vertical
Cut me loose, take me vertical

Oh, lately
I've been running around
Tryna get my feet off the ground
But I've got no vertical
Yeah, I'm running in circles
Running in circles

I've been running round
Can't get off the ground
Like I've got no vertical
Like I've got no vertical
Like I've got no vertical
