Higher Love
Michael Patrick Kelly Lyrics

Oh my love, my love, my love
The singer is addressing his beloved.

What have I done?
The singer is questioning his own actions that may have caused harm or hurt to his beloved.

Where have I gone wrong again?
The singer is reflecting on his past mistakes and wondering where he went wrong this time.

I hear you talk, you talk, you talk
The singer is aware that his beloved is trying to communicate with him and express her feelings, but is not paying attention enough to listen.

Lay it all down
The singer's beloved is trying to be open and honest with him by laying out everything she feels, but he is not giving her enough space or attention to do so.

But I'm not listening
The singer is admitting that he is not being attentive or responsive to his beloved's attempts to communicate with him.

In your eyes I learn to see
The singer is acknowledging that he can learn a lot from his beloved, and is trying to see things from her perspective by looking into her eyes.

Oh the mirror hiding me
The singer is using the image of a mirror to show how his own insecurities and flaws may be hiding who he truly is, and preventing him from being fully present in the relationship.

In the darkness I can dream
The singer is finding solace and escape in his dreams, possibly because he is not facing his reality and relationship problems in the light of day.

If you give me high
The singer is asking for his beloved's unconditional support and love, which he believes will lift him up and make him a better person.

High, higher love
The singer is seeking love that is pure and intense, one that transcends ordinary relationships and has the power to elevate him.

Tell me there's no other one
The singer is looking for reassurance and exclusivity from his beloved, hoping that she will confirm that he is the only one she loves and wants to be with.

One, one above
The singer is suggesting that the kind of love he is after is one that is divine and spiritual, something that can only be answered by a higher power.

We're running out of time
The singer is feeling pressure and urgency in his relationship, sensing that if they don't act soon, they may lose the chance to make things right.

We're about to lose the light of day
The singer is using the metaphor of sunset to suggest that their relationship may be fading away, and they need to take action before it's too late.

I hear you knock, you knock, you knock
The singer acknowledges that his beloved is still trying to reach out to him, but he is absent or disconnected from her.

But I'm not home
The singer is admitting that he is not present or engaged in his relationship, possibly because he is struggling with his own issues and insecurities.

I'm too far gone
The singer is expressing a sense of despair or hopelessness, feeling that he may have gone too far in his mistakes or neglect, and may not be able to come back from it.

High, high, higher love
The singer is repeating his desire for a type of love that is extraordinary and transformative, something that can heal and elevate him above his current problems.

If you give me high
The singer is emphasizing that he needs his beloved's love and support to pull him out of his rut and help them both move forward as a couple.

I'm back in your arms
The singer is expressing a sense of relief or comfort, possibly after having resolved some of his issues with his beloved, and being able to return to a place of warmth and safety with her.
