Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore.
There's a fire in my heart,
A pounding in my brain, it's driving me crazy.
We don't need to talk about it anymore.
Yesterday's just a memory; can we close the door?
I just made one mistake,
Don't say goodnight,
Say you're gonna stay forever,
Oh, whoa, all the way.
Can you take me high enough
To fly me over yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over, yesterday's just a memory,
Yesterday's just a memory.
I don't want to live without ya anymore.
Can't you see I'm in misery?
And you know for sure
I would live and die for you
And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby.
Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna say forever,
Oh, whoa, all the way.
Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over, yesterday's just a memory.
Away (Runnin')
I was running for the door
The next thing I remembered
I was runnin' back for more,
Oo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Solo)
Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever,
Oh, whoa, all the way, (all the) all the way, way, yeah.
Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whooa.
Can you take me high enough
Won't you fly me over (wont you fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved!
(Romans 10:9-13))

@@princealbertz - Glad I’m not the only one who thought that when I was a kid, although I actually thought it was Tommy Shaw, not Jack Blades who was the Heartbreak Kid.
@petejayhawk
The Nuge's most subtle song by far (and IMO his best, since he wasn't front and center).
@CRegister-tm8fc
The blended voices is definitely 100 %
@user-sm7ed8su3l
They were paid to stop recording
@user-sj4wh3tq1m
This song man. It gave me chills when it came out. The vocals, harmony and Nuge on the guitar…just, wow! Most underrated song of 1990
@georgepatton6195

@juanwick523
