On Heights Lyrics by Bug Hunter

Surge of Confidence

2015

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been saying for a while
If love and greed would only rhyme
Then I'd be set to write a song or two
If I were worth my wait in time
Or fell into the bottom line
That'd probably help me bank another few
But as it is, I'm feeling tough
My passions, they don't help me much
If I could shine my vision on the land
You'd know my corners pretty rough
But I've softened the important stuff
That gentle side-effect you've always had

[Chorus]
'Cause someday we'll be taught in textbooks
And make our way across the molding
Minds of everyone alive
But we still rely on heights

[Verse 2]
I climbed that old tree in the yard
And in its roots I kept my heart
So it might grow, and I could reach new heights
I never did quite reach the top
'Cause the furthest branch couldn't keep me up
And though I was brave, I wasn't meant for flight
I asked my dad if that tree would die
And I can't forget his one reply:
"Son, you'll be dead and gone before it falls"
But now I stand on what remains
The ember's not unlike a grave
And wonder if I'll ever feel that tall

[Chorus]
'Cause someday we'll be taught in textbooks
And make our way across the molding
Minds of everyone alive
But we still rely on heights

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Yeah, someday we'll be taught in textbooks
And make our way across the molding
Minds of everyone alive
But we still rely on heights
