Lyrics for High & Wild

You're gone, you're gone You're with me, but you're gone A feeling once so strong is now an old and forgotten song That you don't sing so high and wild You don't sing so high and wild You're here, you're here But your spirit disappeared Off to some place that I don't know Some human thing has squashed your soul And I don't recognize you I wish that this could turn our thing to bliss And we could put our fears aside And learn to laugh and be alive And let our bodies be revived But you can't say that you want me What? Am I supposed to think that's the truth? Well, has it ever been easy for you? To stand behind the things that I do I wait for this to pass For us to both say, "At last" On this dark and narrow path The sun is shining And we remember what it is we're living for I'm neither innocent or wise When you look me in the eyes You might as well be blind You might as well be blind 'Cause you don't see me anymore And you, you can't tell me that you love me When I'm standing in your way Well, this would all be so much easier If I had nothing more to say Well, this would all be so much easier If I had nothing more to say Oh, if only, if only I had nothing more to say Oh, if only, if only I had nothing more to say
