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
