High Luv
Victoria Monét Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blowing flames, with the tribe
How long can you hang before you lose your head
It's only ten o'clock on the dot my friend
Higher than the tip of a forest branch
Rolling like the waves of a river bend
We like how it feels
High love
I'd rather let the days go by
High love
It's the best way to feel love
High love
I'd rather let the days go by
High love
It's the best way to feel love
Love to see them lighters flickering
Breathe it in
Blow a breeze
Go again
How long can you hang before you lose your head
It's only ten o'clock on the dot my friend
Higher than the tip of a forest branch
Rolling like the waves of a river bend
And we like how it feels
We like how it feels
High love
I'd rather let the days go by
High love
It's the best way to feel love
High love
I'd rather let the days go by
High love
It's the best way to feel love
Flickering
Breathe it in
Blow a breeze
Go Again
High love
I'd rather let the days go by
High love
It's the way to feel love
High love
I'd rather let the days go by
High love
It's the best way to feel love
