High Note

[Verse 1]

There were all of those things you weren't supposed to do

Yes, and my my my my my, they were talking to you

There were all of those words that you shouldn't have said

Like a dagger thrown, carry weight of lead

[Chorus]

Livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high, high, high, high, high, high note

[Verse 2]

Listen, now that it's lone and the wear's been shown

Guessing my, my, my, how you have grown

Gather all of the rank and every ounce of pain

Wash the dirt and dust down the drain

[Chorus]

It's livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high, high, high, oh, high, high note

It's livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high, high, high, mmm, high, high note

[Post-Chorus]

And if you gotta sing low

Sometimes the way to go

[Bridge]

(He looked over at Dave) Looked over at Dave

(He was thinkin' he had it made) He was thinkin', he was thinkin', oh, he had it made

(Dave) Dave

(Looked over at Paul) looked on over at Paul

(He was thinkin' he had it all) He was thinkin', oh, he had it all

(Paul) Paul

(He looked over at Steve) Looked over at Steve

(Who's steadily moving) Moving, moving (toward what he believes) Hey, mmm-hmm, mm,-hmm

[Chorus]

He was livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high note

He was livin' on a high, high, high, high note

He was livin' on a high note, high note

Oh, no

He was livin' on a (high, high, high, high note)

[Chorus]

Livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high note

He was livin' on a high, high, high, high note

He was livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high note

Livin' on a high, high, high, mmm, high, high note

[Outro]

I love a-livin' on a high note
