High-Energy
Thomas Evelyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High energy - your love is lifting me.
Ohoh high energy -
Your love is liffing me
lifting me high.

It was only last week that we first met
When I was walking down the street.
You came up from behind me and
I knew that our eyes were gonna meet.

That's when I fell into your arms
Imagine my surprise.

I thought this only happened in fairy tales.
Love hit me right between the eyes
oh yeah.

High energy - your love is lifting me.
Ohoh high energy -
Your love is liffing me
lifting me high.

When you call me on the phone you make my spirits rise.

I'm glad the others didn't last
it's a blessing in disguise.

Everytime you're touching me
it gives me such a thrill.

When I look deep into your eyes
my heart just can't keep still.

High energy - your love is lifting me.
Ohoh high energy -
Your love is liffing me
lifting me high.

All the gold that's in Fort Knox couldn't buy this happiness.

With your love I don't need money
I don't need success.

I became a victime of a sudden love attack.

It happened in a blink of
an eye and there's no holding back.

Oh

High energy - your love is lifting me.
Ohoh high energy -




Your love is liffing me
lifting me high.
