The High Road
molly tuttle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll take my road
Not knowing if we’ll ever meet again
We’ll do it our way
There’s nothing to say
That hasn’t already been said
We walked through the fire
Even our desire
Couldn’t get us to the other side
So you take the high road and I’ll take mine
The road we’re traveling
Has been unraveling
The sunny days were never meant to last
We tried to fake it
Thought we could make it
‘Til the garden turned to ash
We walked through the fire
Broken and burned
Even our desire
Couldn’t get us to the other side
So you take the high road and I’ll take mine
Calling my name, calling my name
It’s the high road
Calling your name, calling your name
It’s the high road
You take the high road
I’ll take my road
Not knowing if we’ll ever meet again
The song "The High Road" by Molly Tuttle is a reflective tune about two people going their separate ways. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who have tried and failed to make their relationship work. They have walked through a fire and emerged broken and burned, with their desire not being enough to get them to the other side. In the end, they decide to take different paths, uncertain whether or not they will ever meet again.

Words can't describe how amazing this song is, but if I had to pick one it would probably be beautiful.
@PaulMcCaffreyfmac
Molly has such amazing flat-picking technique that I find it oddly reassuring to see those fingers resting on the guitar for this beautiful fingerpicking performance. Beautiful song, great playing and singing, wonderful job all round
@gemeinschaftsgeful
Since I play around with the guitar, I know exactly what you mean.
