High

i think its simple ... he let some girl go who meant a lot to him, but he never knew it then. now he sees her again, and he realizes that he still loves her. but she's moved on. she's happy, free without him. he keeps on holding on (to her, to hope) and will never ever let her go again.

The way he views the "girl" in this song makes me think he realizes how special she is, how every step she takes, every breath, every touch she throws his way he will not take for granted. He found the one that makes him complete. It is true when guys fall in love they see the women as a girl..and all they want too do is please and make her happy, like when she was younger and didnt realize how cruel and unjust the world is.

i said to myself many years ago that when i found someone like the girl in this song i would never let her go...Over the years as i watched myself grow older and the sand of time in my hour glass of life fall before me, i didnt think i would ever find this person... till a few weeks ago. Kristy. She is just like this girl to me... she has soo many levels i could never explore them all....she makes me wonder all the time... i can never reach her, and never make her as happy as she should be. Ill never make her see how much i care for her.

She makes me feel so young and happy, i could just sit for hours and listen to her voice, watch her paint, or just be near her for hours. Shes the person i want to grow even older with, she makes me complete. She gives me the contrast i need in life, the happy and loving feeling and the sad, alone, and scared feeling when i dont talk to her.. reminds me that everything has a beginning and an ending...its the middle that matters..

She has completely turned me inside out and upside down, im lost inside myself b/c of her. Every time i will see her, ill feel like a 12 year old boy that just touched a boob for the first time.. This song is exactly how i see her in my mind and how much i love her...On a good note.. this song doesnt have a sad ending.. hopefully kristy and I will not.

Kristy im forever indebt to you for giving me the chance to be in your life. Love K.

It's a love song, pure and simple. And a beautiful one at that.

this song is so magical...

Bilentently this song is about class A drugs, speed/estacy; -...

Verse 1 -.. 'When I see you sky as a kite. As high as I might' (High from the drugs)...

• 'The how you move' (Body reacts diff when up on drugs)...

Verse 2 -... 'When I see you sticky as lips.As licky as trips' (You would get clamey when on drugs.)... 'But when you pout.The way you shout out loud' (Givs more confidence when high, so may talk more & louder)...

Verse 3: -... 'And when I see you kitten as a cat. Yeas as smitten as a cat' (Lovedup on the drugs)... 'And when I see you happy as a girl.That lives in a world of make-believe' (End day, its a fake happiness)...

...ThE eNd...

This is going to sound a bit stupid but I always thought this song was about Simon Gallup. He took way too many drugs in '92, didn't he?

"And when I see you happy as a girl" Simon's a man! And in some cases, drugs can make a person happy.

"When I see you sky as a kite As high as I might I can't get that high The how you move The way you burst the clouds It makes me want to try" This, to me, means that Robert was trying to help him and maybe even make him stop taking drugs but it was impossible.

Laugh at my theory if you'd like, I can't help myself either. I have silly little thoughts.

It's about a girl bringing him higher, he can't believe he took something so precious for granted and almost lost it. Falling in love again. Wonderful.

I can relate to this song alot, I was so madly in love with my friend and i never really worked up the courage to tell her how desperately i needed her. Well turns out she liked me too and now i have to watch her be perfectly happy and have fun with her new boyfriend (when is see you sky as a kite) and know i cant really be as happy as they are (as high as i might i cant get that high) so i just can imagine how good i couldve had it if i diddnt let her go...(makes me bite my fingers through to think i couldve let you go)

Oh, and I think the song is inspired by Shelley's ode "To a Skylark," which is quoted in the sleeve of the Wish album. The poem and the song are both about marveling at the beauty and carefree joy of another.

The connection between the song and poem is more thematic than lyrical, but there are hints. The word "sky" in the first line of the song evokes the title of the poem, and the title of the song evokes the second stanza of Shelley's poem:

 Higher still and higher   
    From the earth thou springest,   
  Like a cloud of fire;   
    The blue deep thou wingest,   

And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.

Google the poem and read it slowly; you will see how the sentiment of the poem inspired the song.

I think it's about being close to losing someone and being grateful because you didn't.

I sing this song to my girlfriend because we've been together for two years but we broke up a few times, and now we're together again, and she still does the same things she did two years ago to get me, that's why my favorite part is "And when I see you take the same sweet steps you used to take…"
