Higher Love
Gustaf Norén State of Sound Viktor Norén Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I was a dreamer
but it's not a dream
I'm falling so much deeper
into what is real
My eyes are open and I see it
I'm no longer blind
You lead the way out of this fever
Into a peace of mind

I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above

And I know all the pain will be over
when you carry my weight on your shoulder

I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above

There's a light coming on the horizon
that forever will shine like a diamond

I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above
Though that I was leaving
but I got stuck between your thighs
A different kind of freedom
I wait for you to shine
I be down in heavy breathing
Wind under your wings
Deeper for you my demon
My queen of everything

And it's slowly flowing through my body can you feel it

I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above

And I know all the pain will be over
when you carry my weight on your shoulder

I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above

There's a light coming on the horizon
that forever will shine like a diamond

I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above
Fall asleep living, wake up to
to a new day, brand new day
Fall asleep living, wake up to
to a new day, brand new day

And I know all the pain will be over
when you carry my weight on your shoulder
I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above
There's a light coming on the horizon
that forever will shine like a diamond
I want you higher love
cause there's no sky above
Fall asleep living, wake up to
to a new day, brand new day
Fall asleep living, wake up to

to a new day, brand new day
Fall asleep living, wake up to
