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.
let's keep this long, yeah let's keep this sweet taste
don't want to hear your whispers talk in haste
hold out your arms, hold out for something good
hold out and find the way you're told you should
you want too much, you want to take control
but you don't ever feel it from your soul
it's getting hard to keep you off my back
the thin veneer i am has got a crack
i see the people that i know i look to
i see the way they're looking at me right through
i see them leading to a funeral pyre
i need a guiding light much higher
but i can't seem to raise my eyes
i can barely ignore all of those tearful cries
of the people rushing out to save their skin
but i can't escape because it comes from within
inside a part of what's supposed to stay hidden
that is why she saw even through those lids that
separate people don't always think the same
and the disadvantages eventually came to this
all that i need is a guiding light
all that i need is a guiding light
much higher
much higher
all that i need is a guiding light
all that i need is a guiding light
much higher
much higher
higher, much higher
higher, much higher
higher, much higher
i'm not insane, but i know you'll let me in
into a place where i can be in sin
can't make you come, can't make you stay away
but you could make me lose along the way
well it's about time you read between the lines
just about time you started picking up the signs
that this portrait shown of perfection and good
is painted by its subjects to hide them like a hood
so understand the messages and read across my lips
that i'll be keeping out of reach just beyond your fingertips
all that i need is a guiding light
all that i need is a guiding light
much higher
much higher
all that i need is a guiding light
all that i need is a guiding light
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
all that i need is a guiding light
all that i need is a guiding light
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
much higher
