Higher Place
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.
So I think I got it all in place now
No distractions under control
Yet there's something missing inside me
I'm chasing shadows of myself
And the clocks are ticking
My world is spinning
Spinning 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round again
And I try
I try to reason why
Don't you know I can't go on this way?
Baby please don't walk away
There is this place
Where I toss away my pride
So you can see that I'm the one
To take you to a higher place this time
I am on the outside looking in
To a place where I will be
Let me give you what you need from me
I surrender my soul to you
And my heart is pounding
And the fire is burning
And my head is spinning, 'round and 'round again
And I try
I try to reason why
Don't you know I can't go on this way?
Baby please don't walk away
There is this place
Where I toss away my pride
So you can see that I'm the one
To take you to a higher place this time
I crash and burn inside my mind
It happens time and time again
I can't explain the way you make me feel
I know I don't have much to give
But what I have I give to you
With all the madness left inside of me oh
With the madness left inside of me oh
And I try
I try to reason why
Don't you know I can't go on this way?
Baby please don't walk away
There is this place
Where I toss away my pride
So you can see that I'm the one
To take you to a higher place this time
Oh Forget what was and what had been
The side by sides and in betweens
(Don't you know I can't go on this way?
Baby, please don't walk away
There is this place)
All the years and yesterdays
Pack your things, get on your way, baby
So raise your sights and lift your dreams
To a higher place this time
