High & Dry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you're most surely not

[Chorus]
Don't leave me high (send it up, send it through)
Don't leave me dry (sent it right back to you)
Don't leave me high (send it up, send it through)
Don't leave me dry (sent it right back to you)
Think again

[Verse 2]
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you
When you're the one screaming out
[Chorus]

Cause it's the best thing that you ever had
The best thing that you ever, ever had (that's you)
It's the best thing that you ever had
The best thing you've ever had has gone away

[Chorus]

Don't leave me dry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
