Stay High

Lyrics by genius.com

 

[Verse 1]
What comes up must come down
I learn it in my science class
No, I'm not that dumb
Your fingertips upon my skin (Your fingertips, upon my skin)
You bring sunshine to my window, baby let it in

[Chorus]
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna get higher than the sun, my baby
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna stay high

[Verse 2]
What comes up must come down (What comes up, must come down)
But you and me, we're floating above the ground
Our generation has so much gloom (Our generation, has so much gloom)
'Cause there ain't no money left after the baby boom

[Chorus]
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna get higher than the sun, my baby
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna stay high

[Bridge]
Don't let me down
Not now 'cause I've been high for so long
That I don't know how to come down
Don't try, I don't even care if you lie, you and me
Don't let me down
Not now 'cause I've been high for so long
That I don't know how to come down
Don't try, I don't even care if you lie, you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
We're gonna stay high
We're gonna stay high

[Chorus]
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna get higher than the sun, my baby
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna stay high

[Post-Chorus]
(We're gonna stay high)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high

I love it, it's the ideal ending for his shows. :wub2: I wasn't that convinced when I saw the videos from the shows, where he just kept repeating "we're gonna stay hiiiiigh", but the song as a whole is just amazing! I hope he sings all of it on the Revelation tour.

I think it's still better than these:

 

All these people talkin' to themselves

Think they're talkin' to someone

but they're talkin' to themselves

No, I can listen to those just fine, theyre just unispired, but these Stay High lyrics seems like an attempt at being quirky 'Oh I learned about gravity in school, this isnt just a dumb song about getting high'. Same for that 'our generation has so much gloom/ Cause there ain't no money left after the baby boom' line - it seems senseless in context, like he is trying to make the song more meaningful or something, it actually sounds really cringey to me cuz its a total underdeveloped and superficial idea.

I'm rather convinced meanwhile that this song is about his fans - at least he certainly gets it across as that at his gigs.

In this context, I think also that line makes sense - to make clear the song isn't about one person who gets him high, but about many - but well, I agree he could've done better than blaming it on the money. :naughty:
