Higher
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was lost alone and searchin'
For someone who understands me for who I really am
Didn't know that I was hurtin'
'Til you lift me up inside
Finally opened up my eyes
If you wanna know what I'm thinkin'
Ever since you came I'm livin'
On top of the world, I can't deny
Every one of my fears has vanished
I don't know how you managed
To wake me up and come alive
You take me higher than the rest (hey!)
Everybody else is second best (oh oh oh)
You pulled a gem out of the mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Toss and turn, a few mistakes but
You slipped in and showed me how
Never let me hit the ground
All the love was hesitated
But ever since you came around
I feel more than safe and sound
If you wanna know what I'm thinkin'
Ever since you came I'm livin'
On top of the world, I can't deny
Every one of my fears has vanished
I don't know how you managed
To wake me up and come alive
You take me higher than the rest (hey!)
Everybody else is second best (oh oh oh)
You pulled a gem out of the mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Oh yeah your love turns me on
Gets me higher
Oh yeah your love takes me up
Gets me higher
Oh yeah your love turns me on
Gets me higher
Oh yeah your love takes me up
Gets me higher
You take me higher than the rest (hey!)
Everybody else is second best (oh oh oh)
You pulled a gem out of the mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
Oh you got me, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher
