You Get Me So High
The Neighbourhood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pushed a lot back but I can't forget it
We never got the credit
Nobody seemed to hear us but we said it
Neither of us planned it
And for a long time I took it all for granted
I really thought we had it
But at the time it was more than I could manage, so
If we can leave it all behind us
And meet in-between
It would get me so
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
Wish I didn't doubt it
I wish I never ever told you all about it
But I just had to let you know
I never meant to hurt you, though
I had all my motives
I didn't know they wouldn't mix with your emotions
I just had to reach my goals
Never knew I needed you though, so
If we can agree to disagree and
Keep on reaching
It would get you so
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
Used to stick together
You're my best friend, I'll love you forever (come with me)
We could be the greatest
Doesn't matter if we're never rich or famous (come with me)
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
If you can just let me know if it's okay
To call you when I'm lonely
The Neighbourhood's song "You Get Me So High" is an ode to a lost friendship or relationship. The song's lyrics suggest that they regret losing someone they cared for and felt a connection to. In the first verse, they admit to pushing things back and taking the other person for granted, despite feeling like they had a special bond. It's clear that there was an emotional connection between the two people, but they were never given the credit they deserved.
The refrain "high all the time" serves as a metaphor for the emotional state they were in when they were with the other person. When they were together, they felt happy and complete, and nothing else mattered. They long to get that feeling back and are willing to meet in the middle to make it happen.
The second verse delves deeper into their internal struggles, wherein they wished they didn't doubt what they had, and now that they have gone separate ways, they regret opening up too much. They never meant to hurt their friend, but the desire to succeed and achieve their goals took over, and they lost sight of what was essential, their friend. Still, they remain open to reconciling and moving past the hurt if the other person is willing to meet them halfway.
Overall, "You Get Me So High" is a poignant and relatable song that speaks to the pain of losing someone special and the desire to reclaim those positive, uplifting emotions that accompany a deep connection.

I hope you don't feel bad about what happened between us
I pushed a lot back but I can't forget it

We never got the credit
No one recognized our achievements
Nobody seemed to hear us but we said it
Even though no one noticed, we still spoke up

We didn't expect to end up in this situation
And for a long time I took it all for granted
I didn't appreciate what we had until it was gone
I really thought we had it
I believed we had a strong relationship
But at the time it was more than I could manage, so
I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to handle it
If we can leave it all behind us
If we can forget the past
And meet in-between
And compromise
It would get me so
It would make me so happy

If you could tell me if it's alright
To call you when I'm lonely
To reach out to you when I feel alone

Hope you don't regret it
I pushed the luck, but I can't forget it
We never got the credit

But at the time it was more than I could manage
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So, if we can leave it all behind us
And meet in between
It would get me so...
