Higher Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was lost, alone and searchin'
For someone who understands
Me for who I really am
Didn't know that I was hurtin'
'Til you left me up inside
And he opens up my eyes, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna know if I'm thinkin'
Ever since you came I'm livin'
On top of the world, I can't deny
Every one of my fears has vanished
And I don't know how you managed
To wake me up and come alive
[Chorus]
You take me higher than the rest (hey)
Oh everybody else is second best (oh oh oh-oh)
You pulled a gem out of the mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher

[Verse 2]
Toss and turn, a few mistakes but
You quite didn't show me how
Never let me hit the ground
All the love was hesitating
But ever since you came around
I feel more than safe and sound, yeah

[Chorus]
You take me higher than the rest (hey)
Oh everybody else is second best (oh oh oh-oh)
You pulled a gem out of the mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher

[Bridge]
Oh yeah your love (hey)
Turns me on (hey)
Gets me higher (oh oh oh-oh)
Oh yeah your love (hey)
Takes me up (hey)
Gets me higher (oh oh oh-oh)
Oh yeah your love (hey)
Turns me on (hey)
Gets me higher (oh oh oh-oh)
Oh yeah your love (hey)
Takes me up (hey)
Gets me higher

[Chorus]
You take me higher than the rest (hey)
Oh everybody else is second best (oh oh oh-oh) (Second best, second best!)
You pulled a gem out of the mess
I was so cynical before, I must confess
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher (higher, higher)
Oh you got me hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igh (hey), hi-i-igher (Oh oh oh-oh)
Oh you got me hi-i-igh, hi-i-igh, hi-i-igher (higher)
Oh you got me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
