Higher Ground

You were life, you were love You were water You were bread Feel my breath getting harder And I know if you're gone any longer That I could bleed my heart out You were gold and I took you for granted Held the world in the palm of my hand But I was blind, couldn't see what I had then Now I bleed my heart out If you could stay just a little while longer You might believe, I've been trying to make a change 'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes And everything I love, gets away from me Everything I've lost, casts a shadow I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground I'm never coming down, never coming down We were young, we were lost We were frozen Broken hearts that were aching to open Now I see there was no way of knowing That we were bleeding out But if you could stay just a little while longer Oh you might believe, I've been trying to make a change 'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes And everything I love, walks away from me Everything I've lost, casts a shadow I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground I'm never coming down, never coming down I'm never coming down, never coming down I'm never coming down, never coming down 'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes And everything I love, walks away from me Everything I've lost, casts a shadow I'm trying Everything I touch, turns to ashes And everything I love, walks away from me Everything I've lost, casts a shadow I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground Never coming down Higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground Higher, higher ground I'm never coming down, I'm never coming down --- Higher Ground - Robin Schulz
