Rihanna - Higher Lyrics

Rihanna Lyrics

"Higher"

This whiskey got me feeling pretty
So pardon if I'm impolite
I just really need your ass with me
I'm sorry 'bout the other night
And I know I could be more creative
And come up with poetic lines
But I'm turned up upstairs and I love you
Is the only thing that's in my mind

You take me higher
Higher than I've ever been, babe
Just come over, let's pour a drink, babe
I hope I ain't calling you too late
Too late
You light my fire
Let's stay up late and smoke a jay
I wanna go back to the old way
But I'm drunk instead with a full ashtray
With a little bit too much to say

Rihanna told Vogue about the meaning of this song in April 2016 cover story, "You know he's wrong, and then you get drunk and you're like, 'I could forgive him. I could call him. I could make up with him.' Just desperate."

Bibi Bourelly, who wrote this song, told Genius.com, "It's bittersweet, but as long as it exhausts you emotionally, that's a good sign. I don't think that you can write a good song without being exhausted afterwards. That just means you didn't put enough into it."
