Above the Timberline

[Verse 1]

I get a little tired looking through the trees

Sitting on the 405 hoping for a breeze

Everybody's gunning, they got something to see

I gotta sell this ticket, get the shadow off of me

So what is your problem? You've been moping around

You need to find a mountaintop, and get out of this town

She says, sometimes, you gotta get away

Clear out that noggin, open up the day

[Chorus]

Above the timberline

The higher I go, the harder I climb

I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind

Love shines bright above the timberline

[Verse 2]

Now things get slower when it's harder to breathe

I can almost touch the stars that are hanging over me

You've never been more beautiful, and it's easy to see

All that really matters, you're all I'll ever need

I'm getting to the bottom at the top of the world

Leaving trivialities parked down at the curb

All that noise between us, now it can't be heard

I'm listening to the wind, I'm writing down the words

[Chorus]

Above the timberline

The higher I go, the harder I climb

I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind

Love shines bright above the timberline

[Bridge]

Now I'll be coming home, I'll be coming home soon

Before I head on down I'm gonna kiss the moon

[Chorus]

Above the timberline

The higher I go, the harder I climb

I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind

Love shines bright above the timberline

[Outro]

Above the timberline

No hitting the brakes, no waiting in line

The farther you go, the higher you'll climb

Love shines bright above the timberline
