Take Me Higher Lyrics by Nearly York

Time Alone

2018

[Verse 1]
I've been sitting, now, on this runway for so long
I can't help but wonder why we haven't taken off
I've got the tools they use to race the birds 'til dawn
But something isn't right, yeah, the rules were written wrong
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, my feet feel like cement
And my head is not sound and worst of all, you
Stopped coming around to take me higher off the ground
[Verse 2]
Well, everyone around me's dying, I'd rather be flying up with you
But I blame you for this mess I got myself into
You didn't leave me, I left you
And my pride won't tell me what to do
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, my feet feel like cement, yeah
And my head is not sound and worst of all, you
Stopped coming around to take me, oh-oh
Stuck here on the ground, my feet feel like cement, yeah
And my head is not sound, worst of all, you
Stopped coming around to take me higher, higher
[Bridge]
High, ooh
High, ooh
High, ooh
High, ooh
[Interlude]
Red sunrise, oh cheery eyes today, hey
Red sunset, oh plans that have to wait, hey
Boy who used to dream himself to sleep
Now relies on routines
Two feet on the ground, my head in the clouds
An emptiness in between
What is this brokenness? The days go by so fast
Another lonely Autumn's underway
And I'm haunted by your face when I decided not to stay
