High Road Lyrics by Cults

Static (10th Anniversary Edition)

2013

[Verse 1: Madeline Follin]
No one really knows
Whose house you're haunting
Places that you go
Are a mystery to me

[Verse 2: Madeline Follin]
Every time you leave here
I'll keep them quiet
I guess that's all you want from me

[Pre-Chorus 1: Madeline Follin]
'Cause if it's all spinning 'round the ball
And if the world's feeling crowded and small
Maybe you can be the big star in tonight's show

[Chorus: Madeline Follin & Brian Oblivion]
But I should've took the high road
Now it's such a long way back
Instead I took the low road
Figured out it's something you can't take back
Should've took the high road
Now my days have all turned black
Instead I took the low road
Figured out it's something that we both lack

[Verse 3: Madeline Follin]
No one really knows
Just what you're wanting
Running 'round the bend
These things aren't for free

[Verse 4: Madeline Follin]
Thinking back at home
We're waiting on you
We've got our own places to be

[Pre-Chorus 2: Madeline Follin]
But if it's all spinning 'round the ball
And if it your world's feeling crowded and small
Maybe you can be the big star in tonight's show
And if it's too late to pick up the call
And if you're torn up and sick of it all
Maybe you can only see far in the night's glow

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Madeline Follin & Brian Oblivion]
But I should've took the high road
Now it's such a long way back
Instead I took the low road
Figured out it's something you can't take back
Should've took the high road
Now my days have all turned black
Instead I took the low road
Figured out it's something that we both lack
