about this song
Establishing the album’s overarching theme, “The Elevator” revolves around Lizzy's deep emotional connection with her four-year, on-and-off boyfriend Thomas Headon at the beginning of their relationship. The introduction sets a hopeful tone for the album, drawing listeners in with the closing lines, “I think we can make it; I hope that I’m right.” The song serves as a “flash forward” to how happy she is in her current relationship, and most of the remaining part of the record reflects on her relationship with her ex.
