Climbing Up to You

Verse 1

Digging down past the bedrock line

Torchlight flickers on the cave wall

Forty nights I swung this pick

Never thought I'd see the sun at all

Lava rivers glowing red

Creepers breathing down my neck

Every tunnel led me deeper

Every step a broken bet

Pre-Chorus

Then the stone gave way

A blue flash in the gray

My hands are shaking now

Chorus

Diamonds in the dark

Diamonds in the dark

I struck the vein and lit the spark

Diamonds in the dark

Diamonds in the dark

I'm climbing out to where you are

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Climbing up to you

Oh-oh-oh

Climbing up to you

Verse 2

Ladder after ladder rung

My lungs are burning for the breeze

Grass and gravel finally

I drop down on my knees

And there you stand

Arms open in the morning light

You waited at the surface

Through every endless night

Pre-Chorus

The sun is on your face

I made it out of that place

I'm running now

Chorus

Diamonds in the dark

Diamonds in the dark

I struck the vein and lit the spark

Diamonds in the dark

Diamonds in the dark

I'm climbing out to where you are

Bridge

I would trade the whole cave

Trade every single gem

For the way you say my name

And I'd do it all again

Chorus

Diamonds in the dark

Diamonds in the dark

I struck the vein and lit the spark

Diamonds in the dark

Diamonds in the dark

I'm home now where you are

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Home now where you are

Oh-oh-oh

Home now where you are
