How High
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.
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
It's funny, I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
I did it, just about everything to see my name in lights
Was it all worth it? And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it
[Chorus:]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
It's funny how everybody mentions my name, they're never very nice
I took it, just about everything except my own advice
Was it all worth it? And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it
[Chorus]
How high, does it make a difference?
Nothing lasts forever
Should I, will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
[Chorus]
How high are the stakes?
(How high, does it make a difference?)
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
(Should I, will it matter when I'm gone?)
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
