"High Up" lyrics

High up, high up
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up (Ooh)
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up (Lookin' at the mountain)
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up
High up, ooh, high up

Behind Your back, a cold surprise
In favor of the third degree
I took a breath and took a knife
No, I won't defend the killer in me
What I wanted to couldn't die
I know You know what that's been like
Never backed down, only fell down in blinding light
You pinned me until evening's glow

No, didn't count on You
But You counted all day
You're breaking every rule
I'm breaking down on every corner
No, healing isn't easy

But when You look at me, I'm lifted high up
Higher than my rain clouds
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
Never wanna come down
When You look at me, I'm lifted

Blue skies are all I see when
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down
High up

So when I met my darkest hour
A traitor to the bleeding night
You saw me cowered in the corner
And offered me a second chance
Now every night I wrestle love
Didn't know that it can hurt this much
I count to three and take the jump
And never really hit the ground

But when You look at me, I'm lifted high up
Higher than my rain clouds
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
Never wanna come down
When You look at me, I'm lifted—

Blue skies are all I see when
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down
High up

(High up, been lookin' at the mountain that's high up)
(Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up)
(Lookin' at the mountain)
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up
High up, ooh, high up

But when You look at me, I'm lifted high up
(Higher than my rain clouds)
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
(Said I never wanna come down)
When You look at me, I'm lifted

Blue skies are all I see when (I see when)
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
High up
