"Higher" lyrics

I put in my time
I've been working hours in the dead of night
Sweat, tears, it's a grind
Barely making ends but I'm getting by
Waiting tables and a desk job
Late night grab the bus in the cold
Seems I'm always playing catch 'em
But I know it's part of the road

I'm getting higher, higher, higher
(Feeling down but don't let it show)
Higher, higher, higher
(That's some shit that you'll never know)

I deserve what's mine
Paid my dues twice over, going out my mind
Still the sun's gotta shine
This little light of mine I'm never gonna let it die
Everything's gonna work out
Late nights with nowhere else to go
Everything is for sure now
So when I'm feeling down real low

I get higher, higher, higher
(Feeling down but don't let it show)
Higher, higher, higher
(That's some shit that you'll never know)
Higher, higher, higher
(Feeling down but don't let it grow)
Higher, higher, higher
(That's some shit that you'll never know)

I've been feling down, I've been feeling down ya ya ya
When no one was around I picked myself off the ground ya ya
When the days got cold and my legs got tired
I took a good look at myself and I said

I'm gonna get higher, higher, higher
(Feeling down but don't let it show)
Higher, higher, higher
(That's some shit that you'll never know)
Higher, higher, higher
(Feeling down but don't let it grow)
Higher, higher, higher
(That's some shit that you'll never know)
