[Verse 1]
The city is small, or so it certainly seems this
When you're convinced you're sized up to Tokyo's beast
I admit that skyscrapers' taste isn't all that sweet
But it's alright, whoah
And I did suppose since I had seen the depths
That as far as sea creatures go I was the biggest you'd met
I admit that, looking down my nose, I was mostly correct
But not all right, whoah
Ah oh
[Chorus]
I was held down, but I've been held up
And I, I've been held up by something
Better than, better than us
I was held down, but I've been held up
And I, I've been held up by something
Better than, better than us
And it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, whoah
[Verse 2]
I have got you and you know you you have me, but
I'm not convinced that is all that we need
I admit that one and one make two
But don't make everything alright, whoah
[Chorus]
I was held down, but I've been held up
And I, I've been held up by something
Better than, better than us
I was held down, but I've been held up
And I, I've been held up by something
Better than, better than us
And it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, whoah
Ah oh
[Bridge]
I was held down by perspective, my frame
I tied my hopes to only my dreams
Hands bound behind my back, now I'm freed
And it's alright
'Cause there's something bigger than me
(Better than us)
Better than us
(Better than us)
Better than us, us, us, us, us
Ah oh
[Chorus]
I was held down, but I've been held up
And I, I've been held up by something
Better than, better than us
I was held down, but I've been held up
And I, I've been held up by something
Better than, better than us
And it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, whoah
Ah oh
