Higher, higher, my toes to the clouds I'm leaning way back so the blood rushed Straight to my head and I'm drunk on the sound Of the wind blowing past as I rise up Oh, there's the sweetest moment when I don't know where I'm going then Gravity pulls me back down Hard as I fight it, my feet touch the ground So I kick off and retrace the path that I'd pushed through the sky Over and over til I'm soaring right By Those birds on the telephone wire. Higher and higher Faster, faster, I'm picking up speed My heart like a drum as the blood rushed Straight to my head which is just what I need To keep my gaze focused on the sun Oh, there's the sweetest moment where I'm not sure where I'm going then Gravity pulls me back down Hard as I fight it, my feet touch the ground So I kick off and retrace the path that I'd pushed through the sky Over and over til I'm soaring right By Those birds on the telephone wire. Higher and higher I've got bruised elbows and scraped knees. Proof that I never stopped trying Part of me's still that girl on the swings. Convinced I was made for flying Gravity pulls me back down Hard as I fight it, my feet touch the ground So I kick off and retrace the path that I'd pushed through the sky Over and over til I'm soaring right By Those birds on the telephone wire. Higher and higher
