Cults

High Road

From Static2013

Written by Brian Oblivion, Madeline Follin

Produced by Ben H. Allen III, Brian Oblivion, Madeline Follin, Shane Stoneback

Lyrics

High Road

No one really knows Whose house you're haunting Places that you go Are a mystery to me Every time you leave here I'm keeping quiet I guess that's all you want from me 'Cause if it's all spinning 'round at the ball And if the world's feeling crowded and small Maybe you can be the big star in tonight's show But I should've took the high road Now it's such a long way back Instead I took the low road Figured out it's something you can't take back Should've took the high road Now my days have all turned black Instead I took the low road Figured out it's something that we both lack No one really knows Just what you're wanting Running 'round the bend These things aren't for free Thinking back at home We're waiting on you We've got our own places to be But if it's all spinning 'round at the ball And if the world's feeling crowded and small Maybe you can be the big star in tonight's show And if it's too late to pick up the call And if you're torn up and sick of it all Maybe you can only see far in the night's glow But I should've took the high road Now it's such a long way back Instead I took the low road Figured out it's something you can't take back Should've took the high road Now my days have all turned black Instead I took the low road Figured out it's something that we both lack
