You're exhausted and accosted
Defeated and depressed
You feel like giving up before you start up on your quest
It's too epic; Feel pathetic
Peers projecting all their fears
They insult you. It's tumultuous
It's resulting in tears
All these climbers think they're fine, but time will tell the tale
Incline plains can be insane. Be prepared to feel the fail
I know you will is strong and you're steady on your feet
I know your strength might feel buried, but it's not buried very deep
You're far away from home. It seems lost off in the distance
Home base was such a place that you don't miss it in this instance
You're more likely to miss my face. My kisses keep you safe
Your mind starts getting painful. I'm your angel. Just have faith
There's a lonely zone of death that has claimed so many souls
There's a skirmish in the sky and in the minds of those below
Some are searching for the summit and they see the clouds at dawn
Some are freezing as they plummet into the great beyond

And we'll never reach the tip-top if we don't give it all we have
And we'll never get some respect if we succumb to being sad
I'm not the cleverest but ever since we met I guess, I forget my past
Time to climb Mount Everest; It's endless. Only our best will make it last

Life is meaningless before you. I've been better ever since
Now you're here and I can feel life can be difficult and tense
Enough air for us to breathe as we proceed into these heights
When we fight, will we recover or will we split up just for spite?
I doubt it's as we thought it. We protect it with our lives
Every step is towards our dreams. Every stride is towards the sky
Everybody that we pass makes us treasure all the travels
You can never know peace without checking off your battles
The mountain makes decisions. All you can give it is respect
You can train and not complain and give it nothing but your best
Anything less is questioned; Can be seen as contempt
The mountain's always listening. So don't be tempted by death
Life is so much better. The rewards will never end
We're forever tethered and you're my forever friend
Hang in there. I've got your back. This is just another test
Soon we'll be back in our bed, or we'll forever rest
And we'll never reach the tip-top if we don't give it all we have
And we'll never get some respect if we succumb to being sad
I'm not the cleverest but ever since we met I guess, I forget my past
Time to climb Mount Everest; It's endless. Only our best will make it last

And we'll never reach the tip-top if we don't give it all we have
And we'll never get some respect if we succumb to being sad
I'm not the cleverest but ever since we met I guess, I forget my past
Time to climb Mount Everest; It's endless. Only our best will make it last

(Only our best will make it last)
