Higher, higher, my toes to the clouds

I’m leaning way back so the blood rushed

Straight to my head and I’m drunk on the sound

of the wind blowing past as I rise up

Oh, there’s the sweetest moment when I don’t know where I’m going then

Gravity pulls me back down

Hard as I fight it, my feet touch the ground

So I kick off and retrace the path that I’d pushed through the sky

Over and over til I’m soaring right By

Those birds on the telephone wire. Higher and higher

Faster, faster, I’m picking up speed

My heart like a drum as the blood rushed

Straight to my head which is just what I need

to keep my gaze focused on the sun

Oh, there’s the sweetest moment where I’m not sure where I’m going then

Gravity pulls me back down

Hard as I fight it, my feet touch the ground

So I kick off and retrace the path that I’d pushed through the sky

Over and over til I’m soaring right By

Those birds on the telephone wire. Higher and higher

I’ve got bruised elbows and scraped knees. Proof that I never stopped trying

Part of me’s still that girl on the swings. Convinced I was made for flying

Gravity pulls me back down

Hard as I fight it, my feet touch the ground

So I kick off and retrace the path that I’d pushed through the sky

Over and over til I’m soaring right By

Those birds on the telephone wire. Higher and higher
