The High Road
Broken Bells Lyrics
We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow
To each his own
The Garden's sorting out
She curls her lips on the bow
I don't know if I'm dead or not
To anyone
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads
To analyze
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
'Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own
A soldier is bailing out
He curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
'Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind (it's too late to change your mind)
You let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind (it's too late to change your mind)
You let loss be your guide

[Verse 1]
We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow
And to each his own
The garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a barrel
"I don't know if you're dead or not
If you're anyone"
[Pre-Hook]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads, to analyze
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
[Hook]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
[Verse 2]
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
But to each his own
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk, to anyone
[Pre-Hook]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads, are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
[Hook]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
[Outro]
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide

+Fuschiababe We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own...
The Garden needs sorting out
She curls her lips on the bow
And I don't know if I'm dead or not
To anyone...
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes,
This army has so many heads
To analyze...
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head...
[Chorus:]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break form the warfare in your house
To each his own...
A soldier is bailing out
He curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone...
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
[Chorus:]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...

The term "underrated" is overrated...YouTube commenters have overused this term, as perfectly demonstrated in the comment above.
