[verse 1:]
I'm sorry in advance, got this money in my pants
I be praying in that bodyβ€…like,β€…now I layβ€…me down, amen
I’m down to pullβ€…up, say when
And I don't wanna be friends
I'm thinking you could be the one I keep around
And I’m highest in the room, got m on my body
We should ditch this place, I know LA kinda snotty
Try not to be cocky when I'm flashing in the
Vacation is my hobby, tell me where you want me
I'll go there, let's make our escape
Let's go there, let's ask can we stay?

[Chorus:]
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind man see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets

[Verse 2:]
Yeah, I'm sorry that I did this
The whole world is on my shit list
If I could I'd beat the shit out of myself
Maybe I will, amen
I’m down to come through, say when
Catch me on club penguin
I’m thinking you could be the gamer I could game with
Highest in the room, Christian Dior on my body
You should ditch your friends and meet me in the lobby
Hard not to be cocky when I'm flashy and I’m godly
Vacation is my hobby, tell me where you want me
I'll go there, let's make our escape
Let's go there, let’s ask can we stay?


[Pre-Chorus: blackbear]
I'll go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask, "Can we stay?"

[Chorus: Scott Stapp]
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind man see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets

[Outro: Scott Stapp]
So let's go there
Yeah, let's go there
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
