"High-Rise" lyrics

I knew her well
We suffered through the good and the bad times
Believed above everything else
She was mine
But she said that it couldn't last forever
Running across the bridge

She said, no, boy
Oh, no, I won't be coming back again
I've got better things to do
I'm gonna miss you

She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city in high society
She wants to live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city where she can forget about me

I remember the moment
She took me through it in the pouring rain
Said there's something all the love in the world
Ain't gonna change
And as we ran for shelter under the oak tree
She suddenly turned to me

And said no, boy
Oh, no, we've pretended long enough
Now the time is almost here
I won't leave no tears

She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city in high society
She wants to live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city where she can forget about me

Said she's got to find a way to get
Up there
Said she hasn't really made it yet to you
Up there

Said she's got to find a way to get
Up there
Said she hasn't really made it yet to you
Up there

New people
Different ways
Different worlds
Different spells
Gonna try for a while

I won't be coming back again
I've got better things to do
I'm gonna miss you
Miss you

She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city in a high society
She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city where she can forget about me


She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city in a high society
She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Of the city where she can forget about me


She wanna live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side
Shes gonna live in a high society
She wanna live in a high-rise
