High Enough Songtext
von The Gray Havens

Freeze the moment in time
Travel back down the corridor of eden
See the apple shine
It was gonna be the ladder to the skies in their mind

The moment now set it into motion
Play it back in time
It′s a worn out tragedy
And though history won't repeat
We′re still livi'n in the rhyme

Cuz we fly to the mountaintop
We climb to the skies above
We sail to the stars and up
But we can't get high
High enough


Yeah I flung the earth
A trinket at my wrist
I said to the dawn that I don′t need none a this
Kept the sky above me with infinite profundity
Believed these shoulder blades would sing as wings
Cold minds of mine a gold mine of cold lines
And when it′s go time these cards
I ain't fold mine
I told I was gonna shine
And I screamed to the ocean like ′all y'all mine′

Liittle did I know my legs turned to lead
And two can keep a secret if one of 'em is dead
And you can′t be an equal while bei'n mislead
And I can see the sequel play'n in my head
Who hasn′t imagined their arms a literal wingspan
And ran as fast as they can in anticipation
For the moment the laws of aerodynamics kick in
Only to be reminded of the space we live in

Cuz we fly to the mountaintop
We climb to the skies above
We sail to the stars and up
But we can′t get high
High enough

They tell me you'll be free like a
bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh
They tell me you′ll be free like a
bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh

So tell me if you feel like a bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh
So tell me if you feel like a bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh


Cuz we fly to the mountaintop
We climb to the skies above
We sail to the stars and up
But we can't get high
High

Cuz we fly to the mountaintop
We climb to the skies above
We sail to the stars and up
But we can′t get high
High enough
