High on You
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Brewster-Neeson-Brewster)
Well I never cared too much about tomorrow,
And yesterday is just a memory,
I never give you back the things I borrow,
But I give back all the love you gave to me
And I like to turn you gently in my fingers,
And I like to watch you light up with a smile,
When you're gone the taste of you still lingers
Like the way you're drifting through my mind.
I wanna tell you that I get high on you,
I get high on you, there's no one else who can do what you do
I get high -- high on you
While I never had much time for wine and roses
And I never got strong lines or big ideas,
I wanna live my life the way I choose it
And you can make the future disappear.
I wanna tell you that I get high on you,
I get high on you, there's no one else who can do what you do
I get high -- high on you
(solo)
You're in my eyes when I look in the mirror,
You're in soul when I step in my shoes
I wanna tell you that I get high on you,
I get high on you, there's no one else who can do what you do




I get high -- high on you

The little things you do they sabotage my brain,
your body and your soul keep running through my veins, running through my veins
the flying sparks you started, just leave me broken hearted when you are not around,
the flying sparks you started, just leave me broken hearted just begging to be found.

I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, I'm high on you

I fallen for you spell, I m locked inside your gains,
the secrets you wont tell, keep driving me to insane, driving me insane,
the firestone you gave me still youngs for you to save me, when you are not around,
the firestone you gave me still youngs for you to save me, just begging to be found,

I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, I'm high on you
I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, high on you
I'm high on you, I'm high on you
