Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caught up in a crossfire everyday
With nothing left to lose, and nothing left to say
No one inside, just caught in the rain
I know you can help me
I need you to help me
I know you are
Takin' me higher
Won't you take me higher

Takin' me higher
Takin' me higher
Takin' me higher
You know you take me higher
Takin' me higher
Everyday
When you're there next to me
Think I understand
What it means to me to be a better man
You lift me up when I'm feeling down
I know you can help me, help me
I need you to help me
I know you are
Takin' me higher
Won't you take me higher
Takin' me higher
