Higher
I remember, years ago, a rooftop prom, the sea glistened below
I held your hand, gazed into your eyes, felt your skin, saw past the disguise
I wished that moment would never end cos' upon you I'd come to depend
(From a bright light she came to me, moving slow, so gracefully)
You had skin like cocoa and hair like ebony (She was soft like an angel with hair like ebony)
If only then someone had told me
This girl's gonna' break your heart today
She'll leave you falling, falling away
And nothing you say is gonna' make her stay
She'll leave you with a kiss that's gonna' take you
(Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher)
So I took her hand, asked her to dance
Knew I had to try, I had to take a chance
The floor was black and the sky was gold
Never before had I been so bold
The scenery around blurred by a silent sound
My heart starts to pound at the sights that surround
But little did I know you would break my heart that day
And I am still falling, falling away (Falling!)
Never before did we need to say
Never before had you walked away
Never before did I want to touch
Never before did you mean so much to me
When all is said and done you were the only one
When I was alone you were my midnight sun
When I was cold you kept the storm at bay
But now you've gone, gone far away
(Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher)
Never before did we need to say
Never before had you walked away
Never before did I want to touch
Never before did you mean so much to me
When all is said and done you were the only one
When I was alone you were my midnight sun
When I was cold you kept the storm at bay
But now you've gone, gone far away
(Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher)
This girl's gonna' break your heart today
She'll leave you falling, falling away
And nothing you say is gonna' make her stay
She'll leave you with a kiss that's gonna' take you
