High
E-Volution Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

always wondered why your eyes are closed
don't you want to see me closing mine?
heaven help me I'll devour him
see me drawing out his spine
hey boy come sleep
I will turn the ocean into sky
how do you keep?
when the love is making you high

outta sight outta mind
high

you're afraid of what I'll do to you
recall the taste of something sweet
between a thousand sheets of memory
I cannot be blamed because you're weak
hey boy come sleep
I will turn the ocean into sky how do you keep?

when the love is making you high
outta sight outta mind high
