The High Road
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.
Every time we're in the same room
I see smoke slipping right through
The cracks in the walls
The cracks in my words
We're playing with fire like we won't burn
I wasn't supposed to like you this much
and I wasn't supposed to let you close enough to touch me
Cause I've got someone who loves me
I should take the high road home
But you shouldn't be high all alone tonight
I know it ain't right
I should forget that we ever met
But I can't move forward and I can't go back
I'm stuck between who's been loving me
I'm not allowed to say what I'm thinking
So I show songs to you that show exactly what I'm feeling
But we never did have the same taste in music
So it's obvious to you exactly what I'm doing
Maybe it's the idea of you that keeps me so restless
Maybe it's the danger of what would happen if we kiss
Maybe it's actually you, but I'll never know for sure
I'm tearing at the seams and it seems I'm doing it to myself
Who's been loving me
Who's been loving me
Who's been loving me
Who's been loving me
Every time we're in the same room
I see smoke slipping right through
The cracks in the walls
The cracks in my words
We're playing with fire like we won't burn
Who's been loving me
Who's been loving me
Who's been loving me
Who's been loving me
