Lyrics

I stay up all night

I spend the entire night awake

Never said I want it this way

I never expressed a desire for things to be this way

Your sweetest advice

Your well-intentioned advice

Never heeded but I loved the taste

I didn't follow it, but I enjoyed the experience

I was just another left behind and breathless

I was just another person left behind and breathless

But if I close my eyes might not be so senseless

If I close my eyes, it might not be as meaningless

How long 'til I go in search of

How long until I seek something more within myself

Something more inside

A desire for inner fulfillment

I won’t take offense, I won’t think about it, no no

I won't take offense, I won't dwell on it

I’m no different now

I'm not fundamentally different now

Maybe just a bit more insane

Perhaps just a bit more mentally unstable

But I can’t keep coming back down

But I can't keep descending every time you call my name

Every time you call my name

Every time you call my name, it's a challenge

So much higher

Reaching a heightened emotional state

I've been flying now

I've been experiencing a sense of elevation

So long it feels like

For so long that it feels like

I never knew the ground

I never knew what it's like to be grounded

Higher still yet

Still reaching higher

Now I remember

Now I recall

The only thing beneath my feet were my own fears and doubts

The only thing beneath me was my own fears and doubts

I want to be somewhere living feels right

I want to be in a place where living feels authentic

I was so confident everything's working to get us there

I was confident that everything was aligning to bring us there

But the harder I try the harder I fall again

But the more I try, the harder I fall again

Feeling like I want to make a change so bad

Feeling a strong desire to make a significant change

I want to see it all come together like I've been dreaming of

I want to see everything come together as I've dreamt

Am I the only one who cares?

Am I the only one who is concerned?

I feel it all alone

I feel everything on my own

I feel it when I know I shouldn't feel so bad

I feel it even when I shouldn't feel so distressed

So much higher

Reaching a heightened emotional state again

I've been flying now

I've been experiencing a sense of elevation

So long it feels like

For so long that it feels like

I never knew the ground

I never knew what it's like to be grounded

Higher still yet

Still reaching higher

Now I remember

Now I recall

The only thing beneath my feet were my own fears and doubts

The only thing beneath me was my own fears and doubts

So much higher

Reaching a heightened emotional state yet again

I've been flying now

I've been experiencing a sense of elevation

So long it feels like

For so long that it feels like

I never knew the ground

I never knew what it's like to be grounded

Higher still yet

Still reaching higher

Now I remember

Now I recall

The only thing beneath my feet were my own fears and doubts

The only thing beneath me was my own fears and doubts
