Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If we go higher, tryna tame the clouds
Lost in the night, the only way is down
Still, we go higher, tryna sate this thirst
Till we fly into the sun and fall in flames to Earth
Earth, Earth
[Verse 2]
Higher, higher, higher, oh
[Verse 3]
Man, I swore, I never been here before
This tour's like a storm, blew me up on the shore
Don't know if I'm comin' or goin', or who's runnin' the show
And whether it's curtains or encore
And everyday I spend, space and dimension
Feelin' like I snap, so frayed from the tension
Breakin' the connection, chasin' my redemption
Lookin' in the wrong place for perfection
I brought a piece of the road into the peace of our home
You the cornerstone of every bit of peace that I've known
But this fever to roam, I can't leave it alone
It claws at my flesh and it's deep in my bones
The music brought me back to life
But it was you that was the sacrifice
Lost time, lost sleep, lost point of view
Lost high, lost me, lost all but you
[Verse 4]
If we go higher, tryna tame the clouds
Lost in the night, the only way is down
Still, we go higher, tryna sate this thirst
Till we fly into the sun and fall in flames to Earth
Earth, Earth
[Verse 5]
Higher, higher, higher, oh
Higher, higher, higher, oh
[Verse 6]
She used to say, "You make me wanna run to you
I'm so proud of your accomplishments"
Looked at me like I'd hung the moon
Now she looks at me like I'm blockin' it
'Cause when you're deep on a tour, no rest
Not feeling human, like you failed the Turing test
She don't want you to bounce too soon, man
I feel like Andy Kaufman, the man on the moon
And when I'm feelin' half human
I'm still hard to kill like Vents and Rasputin
And when life put the boot in
You gotta hit 'em with the fire, Street Fighter, Hadouken
24/7, ride the clouds on a 747, lights out
Damn, I've never felt more present than I have right now
Shook to life by the landing gear
In flight radio playin' Chandelier
Now I'm standin' here with no standin' room
Waitin' on an old man to grab a bag or two
Then he tipped his hat and asked me what I do
I said, "Dude, this is what I do"
And I'ma be consumed by all this so-called fun
I'ma burn up soon tryna touch the sun
[Verse 7]
Oh, higher
High, I, oh
[Verse 8]
If we go higher, tryna tame the clouds
Lost in the night, the only way is down
Still, we go higher, tryna sate this thirst
Till we fly into the sun and fall in flames to Earth
Earth, Earth
[Verse 9]
Higher, higher, higher, oh
Higher, higher, higher, oh
