Take Me Higher
birgir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling cold and I hate to admit it.
Maybe the only thing we knew,
The sudden love and how to forget it,
We fall apart, but never too worried,
Maybe it′s best to tell the truth.
I know we try, we try, we try,
′Cause you bring the best out of me.
Oo o oh
And tho we tryed, we tryed, we try.
I hope you remember why.
Only you could set me free.
Hmhmmmh,
You take me higher,
You take me higher,
You take me higher way from she.
You take me higher,
You take me higher,
You take me higher, higher, then she.
All in all.
I thought that I, could hold you forever.
But now my heart is colder than ever.
Or maybe I'm just too blind to see.
The way we are,
Tryed to forget it.
Playing games,
You know I'll regret it.
But I hope we make it through.
I know we tryed, we tryed, we try.
To tell me why I don′t feel right.
′Cause you bring the best out of me.
Oh ooo ooo oooh
Tho we try, we try, we try.
I hope that you remember why.
Only you could set me free.
Oohmoomh
You take me higher,
Take me higher,
Take me higher,
Way from she.
You take me higher,
Take me higher,
Take me higher, higher, then she
Take me higher.
Take me higher.
Take me higher, higher. Then she.
Wooowooh
Take me higher, (take me higher baby)
Take me higher (take me higher baby)
Take me higher, way from she.
