High Enough - The Gray Havens

Freeze the moment in time

Travel back down the corridor of Eden, see the apple shine

It was gonna be the ladder to the skies in their mind

The moment I set it into motion

Play it back in time

It’s a worn out tragedy

And though history won’t repeat

We’re still livin' in the rhyme

'Cause we fly, to the mountain top

We climb, to the skies above

We sail, to the stars and up

But we can’t get high, high enough

Yeah I flung the earth, a trinket at my wrist

I said to the dawn that «I don’t need none of this»

Kept the sky above me with infinite profundity

Believed these shoulder blades would sing as wings

Cold minds of mine a gold mine of cold lines

And when it’s go time these cards, I ain’t fold mine

I told I was gonna shine

And I screamed to the ocean like all y’all mine

Little did I know my legs turned to lead

And two can keep a secret if one of ‘em is dead

And you can’t be an equal while being mislead

And I can see the sequel playing in my head

Who hasn’t imagined their arms a literal wingspan

And ran as fast as they can in anticipation

For the moment the laws of aerodynamics kick in

Only to be reminded of the space we live in

'Cause we fly, we fly, to the mountain top

We climb, we climb, to the skies above

We sail, we sail, to the stars and up

But we can’t get high, high enough

They tell me you’ll be free like a bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh

They tell me you’ll be free like a bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh

So tell me if you feel like a bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh

So tell me if you feel like a bird in the sky a bird in the sky oh

'Cause we fly, to the mountain top

We climb, to the skies above

We sail, to the stars and up

But we can’t get high, high

We fly, we fly, to the mountain top

We climb, we climb, to the skies above

We sail, we sail, to the stars and up

But we can’t get high, high enough
