mountain
Swan Valley Heights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know what you do to me
You don't know who I am
I don't know why I feel this way
Just make it stop
I'm going insane
You don't know all the roads I've walked
How many valleys I've crossed
I ran with wolves and I flew with hawks
But I'm not sure how far I've come

'Cause up on that mountain high
I chased your demons away
Right under a burning sky
Up on the mountains
Under a trembling sky

Horizon clears off, baby
I hear the wind blow, baby
Oh as I'm falling, baby
Oh as I'm falling, baby

'Cause up on that mountain high
I chased your demons away
Right under a burning sky
Up on the mountains
Under a trembling sky





I'm on the mountain high
Under a burning sky
