about
Loving someone with depression is hard, but loving someone with manic-depression is a whole new level. After trying to be there for my friends while they were on a roller coaster of highs and lows, the bottom dropped out of my own mental health and I found myself deep in the same experience that I had been trying to navigate, but this time from the other side of things. "The Come Down" is about maneuvering through waves of depression and mania, and the few friends who manage to provide stability and support through it all.
lyrics
Well, I haven’t heard from you in weeks
And now you’re blowing up my phone
We almost hit the season peak
So I was leaving you alone
Now I can hardly see the signs of hibernation on your face
It’s like you traveled back in time
But ended up in the same place
The further up you go, the further down you fall
But in the middle isn’t living at all
And I can see, burning in your eyes, dancing on the ground
The comet of your mind coming ‘round
Well, I’m gonna be there when you come back down
Ooh, ooh
And I can see the pedal on the floor, the glimmer of the key
Going till your tank’s running empty
I’m gonna be there when you come back down
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I’m gonna be there when you come back down
You know I’m up to paint the town
You know I’m down to stay all night
We’ll break the speakers with the sound
We’ll howl against the fading light
But is it better to ignore the weight that recently had kept
You horizontal on the floor
Broken and tired and barely slept
The further out you go
The further to return
But maybe now is not the time you should learn
And I can see, burning in your eyes, dancing on the ground
The comet of your mind coming ‘round
Well, I’m gonna be there when you come back down
Ooh, ooh
And I can see the pedal on the floor, the glimmer of the key
Going till your tank’s running empty
I’m gonna be there when you come back down
Ooh, ooh
Don’t be in such a hurry
You know it’d kill me if you leave us all too early
For now I see, burning in your eyes, dancing on the ground
The comet of your mind coming ‘round
Well, I’m gonna be there when you come back down
And now I see the pedal on the floor, the glimmer of the key
Going till your tank’s running empty
I’m gonna be there when you come back down
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I’m gonna be there when you come back down
