[Verse 1]
Sometimes I look into your eyes
I'm trying to see the light that shines back at me
Sometimes there's nothing there
Sometimes it's hard to care
Sometimes I'm scared that I don't know

[Chorus]
What pulls you up?
What pulls you down?
What pulls you back to me, my love?
What makes you sing?
What pulls your strings from up above?
What pulls you up?

[Verse 2]
I wish it was just you and me
Like in our glory when we needed no one
Maybe another hand
Messed with our master plan
I guess we'll never understand

[Chorus]
What pulls us up?
What pulls us down?
What pulls us back again, my love?
What makes us sing?
What pulls our strings from up above?
What pulls us up?
[Bridge]
Are we just happy puppets, baby?
Can we make up our own minds?
Are we just happy puppets?
Maybe
Probably

[Verse 3]
And now we're just a mystery
And we will never know whodunit, will we?
First time it's just for fun
Next time, repeat step one
Then you're done before you know
Before you know

[Chorus]
What pulls you up?
What pulls you down?
What pulls you back again, my love?
What makes you sing?
What pulls your strings from up above?
What pulls us up?
What pulls us up?
What pulls us up?

[Outro]
Are we just happy puppets?
Maybe
