She Takes Me High
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We rode our bikes
To our tree house by the sea
And there we laid and said we'd never leave.
Last nights dream
I promised you would have
The whole world at your feet
On a bed we made of leaves.
And we both know
You're everything I need
And now I know
What she does to me
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
Shes got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me high, high
She takes me high tonight
Last nights dream
We drove your car
To the dead end of your street
And we made love where no one else could see.
Last nights dream
I held your hand
And asked if you would be
Forever mine, together you and me.
And we both know
You're everything I need
And now I know
What she does to me
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
Shes got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me high tonight.
Ill keep sleeping
If I don't stop dreaming
I would stop my breathing for you
I'm not leaving
This life I'm dreaming
Cause I cant stop living with you.
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
Shes got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me high, high
She takes me high tonight
In We the King's song "She Takes Me High," the singer dreams about being with his loved one to escape from the world's realities. In the dream, they ride on bikes to their treehouse near the sea and snuggle up there, promising never to leave that peaceful spot. He tells his partner that she would have the whole world at her feet and that they'd lay on a bed made of leaves. The love they share lifts him so high that he feels as if he's floating 10 feet off the ground.
In the second half of the dream, they drive to a dead end of her street, where they make love. The singer asks her to be with him forever, promising to love her unconditionally. Even in the dream, he realizes that the woman he is with is everything he needs to be happy. He notes that she has the power to wake him up and inspire him, yet she can also break him down. And after being with her, the dreamer knows that he'll never be the same again. He's forever changed in the best possible way because she takes him so high.

Last nights dream
In a dream last night
We rode our bikes
We rode on bicycles together
To our tree house by the sea
To our secret clubhouse by the ocean
And there we laid and said we'd never leave.
We lay down and promised never to leave this place.
Last nights dream
In a dream last night
I promised you would have
I made a promise to you that you will be able to
The whole world at your feet
You will have the world at your disposal
And that we'd lay
And we promised to lie down
On a bed we made of leaves.
On a bed made of leaves that we created.
And we both know
Both of us know
You're everything I need
You are all that I require
And now I know
Currently, I understand
What she does to me
What effect she has on me
She takes me high
She elevates me
She takes me high
She raises me up
She takes me high
She makes me feel elevated
She takes me high
She lifts me up
She wakes me up
She makes me alert and attentive
She breaks me down
She causes me to feel weak
Shes got me 10 feet off the ground
She has lifted me so high
She takes me high, high
She lifts me up to a great extent
She takes me high tonight
Tonight, she pleases me most by lifting me up so substantial
Last nights dream
In a dream last night
We drove your car
We went for a ride in your car
To the dead end of your street
To the end of your street
And we made love where no one else could see.
We had intimate relations where no one else could see.
Last nights dream
In a dream last night
I held your hand
I grasped your hand tightly
And asked if you would be
And inquired if you would be
Forever mine, together you and me.
Forever mine, together we will be.
She takes me high
She elevates me
She takes me high
She lifts me up
She takes me high
She makes me feel elevated
She takes me high
She raises me up
She wakes me up
She makes me alert and attentive
She breaks me down
She causes me to feel weak
Shes got me 10 feet off the ground
She has lifted me so high
She takes me high, high
She lifts me up to a great extent
She takes me high tonight
Tonight, she pleases me most by lifting me up so substantial
Ill keep sleeping
I will remain sleeping
If I don't stop dreaming
As long as I keep dreaming
I would stop my breathing for you
I would be willing to stop breathing for you
I'm not leaving
I'm not departing
This life I'm dreaming
This life, as I dream it
Cause I cant stop living with you.
Because I cannot stop living with you.
She takes me high
She elevates me
She takes me high
She lifts me up
She takes me high
She makes me feel elevated
She takes me high
She raises me up
She wakes me up
She makes me alert and attentive
She breaks me down
She causes me to feel weak
Shes got me 10 feet off the ground
She has lifted me so high
She takes me high, high
She lifts me up to a great extent
She takes me high tonight
Tonight, she pleases me most by lifting me up so substantial.
