The High Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I didn't even second guess cause God gave you to me
I'd run into you everywhere and I'd leave happy
There were a couple people in the way and that was alright with me
Cause you have the heart of a lion and the touch of a rose
You can be stubborn as hell but we go together so damn well
I stood right there by your side while you fought everything that I tried
Took a while for you to give in but here we are more than friends
I fell so hard for you it turns out that you did too
Cause you have the heart of a lion and the touch of a rose
You can be stubborn as hell but we go together so damn well
I stood right there by your side while you fought everything that I tried
Took a while for you to give in but here we are, more than friends
I'm standing here asking for your hand
There's nothing more that I want than to be your man
When I put this ring on your finger I promise to be
Everything you'll ever want and everything you'll ever need
Cause you have the heart of a lion and the touch of a rose
You can be stubborn as hell but we go together so damn well
I stood right there by your side while you fought everything that I tried
Took a while for you to give in but here we are more than friends
The lyrics to the song "More" by The Highs tell the story of a relationship that began with obstacles but ultimately resulted in a strong and deep love. The singer knew from the start that being with their partner would not be easy, but they were willing to take the risk because they believed that God had put this person in their life for a reason. They admired their partner's strength and resilience, despite their stubbornness at times. However, their patience and perseverance paid off, and after dancing together one night, they both realized that they had fallen deeply in love with each other.
The lyrics speak to the idea that sometimes, the path to true love is not smooth sailing. There may be challenges and obstacles along the way, but those are the things that can make the love stronger in the end. The singer is expressing his love and commitment to his partner, promising to be everything they need and want in a partner. The lion and the rose metaphors signify the strength and softness that the singer sees in his partner, and together they create a perfect balance.
Overall, this song is a beautiful declaration of love, told in a simple yet heartfelt way. It captures the ups and downs of a relationship, but ultimately celebrates the power of love to overcome any obstacle.
