Higher Love
Kygo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(That love, that love)
(Bring me higher love, love)
(That love, that love)
(Bring me higher love)

Think about it, there must be a higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, and I'll look inside mine

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Fallin' behind in what could be, oh

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

That love, that love
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love
Bring me higher love, oh
That love, that love
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love
Bring me a higher love

That love, that love
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love
Bring me higher love, oh
That love, that love
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love
Bring me a higher love

Worlds are turnin', and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear, and standin' out there alone
A yearning, yeah, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Fallin' behind in what could be, oh

Bring me a higher love (oh my Lord)
Bring me a higher love, oh (oh)
Bring me a higher love (my Lord)
It's that higher love I keep thinking of

That love, that love
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love
Bring me higher love, oh
That love, that love
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love
Bring me a higher love

(Bring me a higher love) oh, bring me love
(Bring me a higher love, oh) we need a higher love
(Bring me a higher love) bring me, bring me, yeah
A higher love I keep thinking of, oh

That love, that love (bring me a higher love)
Bring me higher love, love
That love, that love (bring me a higher love)
Bring me higher love, oh
That love, that love (bring me a higher love)
Bring me higher love, love
A higher love I keep thinking of

Bring me a higher love (that love, that love)
(Bring me higher love, love)




Bring me a higher love (that love, that love)
(Bring me higher love) oh

Getting those 80's vibes from the video, love it! 💕

@brannonharris9761

oh really? getting 80's vibes? Didn't catch that.

@JJ_Justice

I was getting 90s since I believe it was in the 90s that Whitney released that song.

@Grimeyhoob

Did you grow up in the 80s?

@PSCA1988

@@JJ_Justice Well considering that Whitney covered the song in 1990 it's hard to get a 90's vibe. The original is from Steve Winwood from 1986, and the workout outfits definitely give off an 80's vibe.
