Highway 7

I was down to my very last song
Didnt even know which way to go
Couldnt believe that this was happening
I said, "God, please dont put me back"
I didnt even see, there was blood on the tracks
I was still compromising

And then the rain came and the sun went down below
And the city arose from the water, it was off the shore
And I realized what was happening, I had to pay the toll
Its true that you lose your mind when you gain control

But I was a fool to think I could play this game with you
'Cause I was born to walk this higher road forever
Theres no understanding all the things that people do
'Cause when this higher road comes down, we'll be born together
I said, "When this higher road comes down, we'll be born forever, yeah"

I was down to my very last friend
I was on Highway 7 again
Tell me why its so hard to stay
In your place, in the arms of the one
Seems I got too close to the sun
I was burning, burning, burning, burning

And then the rain came and the sun went down below
And the city arose from the water and the water flowed
And then I realized what was happening, you have to pay the toll
Its true that you gain your soul when you lose control

Fool to think I could play this game with you
'Cause I was born to walk this higher road forever
See, theres no understanding all the things that people do
But when this higher road comes down, we'll be born together
I said, "When this higher road comes down, we'll be born forever, hey, hey"

At night, I toss and turn 'cause it seems that I havent learned
That the more that you fight and the more that you try
Thats the way that you're making the storm
If I had my way, I would bring you back to stay but youre gone

All I got, all I got is the crown that your wore
Is the crown that you wore, is the crown that you wore
Is the crown that you wore, is the crown that you wore
Is the crown that you wore, is the crown that you wore
Is the crown that you wore

Higher road, higher road, higher road
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
