High Above the Ground Lyrics

[Intro]
You and I both, we come from different worlds
I’m a small-town kid and you’re an uptown girl
We both been hurt, we got a few scars
But it don’t matter now, we’re staring at the stars

[Verse 1]
When it comes to my heart, you got it catching fire
And deep down in my soul, I know that I would die
If I didn’t have you, how could I ever fly?
100 miles beyond the sky

[Chorus]
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?

[Verse 2]
Remember that day, we knew it from the start
We’ve come a long way, we’re gonna go far
I see the future in your eyes
Forever and always, you and I
[Chorus]
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?

[Bridge]
When we’re so close to Heaven
Underneath the moonlight
Yeah, it's paradise
It’s gonna be too hard to say goodnight
Yeah

[Chorus]
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?
It’s feeling like we’re high above the ground
It’s feeling like we never coming down
'Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Daughtry informed:

I was inspired to write the lyrics after my wife and I got back from Italy. It was the first time we had gone on a real vacation since we got married. It was the first time ever we went anywhere that it was just me and her, no kids, and it was Italy. She had always wanted to go there and we finally made it happen. It was one of those highs you never wanted to come down from. That was essentially our honeymoon.
