So High
eleven eleven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've given my eyes a place to die
For you I'd die a thousand times
I could disappear in you
I could disappear in you
Swallowing my darkness as you shine

How does it feel to be so high
Lift my head up to see you
And if the day comes when you fall
I will be here beneath you

I'll throw a line to you
And watch it taken by the wind
And you smile and float away
And you smile and float away
Slipping through my fingers once again

How does it feel to be so high
Lift my head up to see you
And if the day comes when you fall
I will be here beneath you

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be so high





You've given my eyes a place to die

I cant help but imagine this song coming out in the 90's during the grunge period. Would've been huge hit. Great Song.
