She Brings Me Down

Posted in Lyrics. Written by Chris Reading on January 1st, 2008

It’s easy to get lost on the 18th floor
Staring out my office window at this hurried, hurried world
I’ve got a meeting in an hour, another one at three
Next week I’ll be in Phoenix, I’ve got a schedule to keep
But there’s more to life than this old job
And sometimes I forget
‘Til I see that big smile on that little girl
In a picture on my desk

Chorus
She brings me down
And nothing cheers me up
Like when I hit my knees
And she gives me hug
She’s only three feet high
But larger than life
Thank God that she’s around
She brings me down

Saturday morning, got the paper in my hand
A cup of coffee on the table, I’ve got my weekend planned
This afternoon there’s a ball game on, I don’t wanna miss
So I spend the morning in a rush, just to check things off my list
When I hear “Daddy could you take a break…
And push me on my swing”
That wakes me up and makes me see
The most important thing

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
We raced over to the swing-set
She beat me yet again
She yells, “Daddy let’s go higher”
But I’m as high as I can get
…She brings me down

Repeat Chorus and Tag
