Lyrics

Higher

[Verse 1]

I'm glad you came around today

I sure need a good companion

I'm losing it but you're the same

Without you I move at random

Abusing you cause you are a friend

And there's no Jesus here to explain

[Chorus 1]

And take me higher

Come take me higher

Come take me high above our time

Take me higher

Oh, take me higher

Come take me high above our time

We'll make it out of here, oh yeah

[Verse 2]

You justify and you are not afraid

And I won't feel like this forever

You wait with me because you know

There's so much more than this before we go

[Chorus 2]

To take us higher

Come take us higher

Come take us high above our time

Take us higher

Oh, take us higher

Come take us high above our time

We'll make it out of here

Come take us out of here

Take us anywhere, oh yeah

[Bridge]

Higher

Higher

Higher

[Chorus 3]

Take us higher

Come take us higher

Come take us high above our time

Take us higher

Oh, take us higher

Come take us high above our time

We'll make it out of here, oh yeah
