HIGHER
Bishop Briggs Lyrics

Higher, your love has set me free
The love of the person she sings about has liberated her, she is no longer restricted by fear or doubt.

Now nothing's out of reach
She feels like nothing is impossible, now that she is free from her own limitations.

I run the days into the night
She's constantly pushing herself, taking each day to its limit.

I feel my heart is goin' rogue here
Her heart is leading her into uncharted territory, perhaps into a new, unexplored experience.

But I kinda like it (I do)
Despite feeling like she's out of control, she enjoys the thrill and excitement of the experience.

You run your mouth, I ran a mile
Someone has been talking negatively to her and she has distanced herself from them.

I've heard it all, now you don't want me
She's become tired of hearing the same words over and over and, as a result, they have lost her interest.

Well I'm done, I promise
She's made a decision to move on and not look back.

Yeah I will go
She's willing to leave everything behind in order to start anew.

Screamin' out my pain into the night
She'll express her emotions through her actions and make her feelings known.

Do what I like
She is free to do whatever she wants now that she's not held back by fear or doubts.

I'll lose control
She is willing to let go and allow herself to be vulnerable and open to new experiences.

Shave my head and dance with girls you like
She'll do something unconventional, that others may find strange, just to feel the emotions that come with stepping outside of her comfort zone.

It gets me higher, you get me higher
These experiences lift her up and make her feel alive - possibly something she never felt before being free.

I'll paint my skin with broke hearts
She wears her pain on the outside, like a symbol of the past she has overcome and left behind.

I'll rip our memories all apart
She is not afraid to let go of the past, even if it means tearing apart something that once brought her comfort.

I lose my mind now that you're not here (I do)
She's finding that being alone is affecting her differently than she expected, but embraces this feeling regardless.

Your guitar I smash it up
She's channeling her pain and angst through destructive behavior, taking out her inner turmoil on an object.

'Cause that's the music that I love
She values her freedom too much to let anyone's opinions or tastes dictate her own preferences, including the music she loves.

Play it so loud, you can hear it
She will embrace the music she loves as loudly and proudly as possible, letting everyone hear and feel it with her.

This ain't no give or take (ooh, ooh)
There is no bargaining, quid pro quo or compromise. She is determined to take control of her own life.

I've learned from my mistakes (ooh, ooh)
She acknowledges her past mistakes and has learned from them, ready now to apply these lessons in her new, free life.

I'm so much stronger now (ooh, ooh)
Through pushing through her hardships and overcoming her past, she has become stronger and more in control of her life.
