High Above the Ground
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a small town kid and you're an uptown girl
We've both been hurt, we got a few scars
But it don't matter now, we're staring at the stars
When it comes to my heart you gotta catch and fall
Deep down in my soul I know that I would die
If I didn't have you how could I ever fly?
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to?
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to now?
Remember that day, we knew it from the start
We've come a long way and we're gonna go far
I see the future in your eyes
Forever and always, you and I
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to?
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to now?
When we're so close to heaven
Then we gonna like this paradise
It's gonna be too hard to say
Goodnight yeah
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to?
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to?
Oh, it's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to now?
Daughtry's "High Above the Ground" is a song about two individuals from different worlds, who have been hurt by life but find solace in each other's company. The singer describes himself as a small town boy who has scars from his past, while his partner is an uptown girl. Despite these differences, they share a connection that lifts them above their painful pasts and makes them feel like they are soaring together. The lyrics indicate that the singer's love interest provides him with the strength to fly, both figuratively and literally, as he declares that he can go "a hundred miles beyond the sky" with her by his side.
The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the feeling of being high above the ground and never wanting to come down. The lyrics suggest that the couple is in a state of pure bliss, so close to heaven that it would be too hard to say goodbye. The song is a celebration of love's ability to uplift and heal individuals, offering a sense of hope even in the darkest of times.
