How High - Ivy Sole

Left the windows open

Letting all the smoke get outside

Tell me that you’re floating

But how high?

Tell me that you’re hoping

That you can take these wings for a ride

Now’s the time to show me

How high?

Verse 1 (Ivy Sole):

I’ve been looking for a smile that I can cling to

You’ve been looking for a sky to spread your wings to

So show me what they’re made of

Are they feathers or wax?

Will we see the sun or end up flat on our backs?

Gazing up at stormy eyes or cloudy hair or sunny cheeks

Are you every bit of heaven I seek?

Is this height how you like it?

Are you close to your peak?

Is this twice striking lightning and thunder shaking our knees?

You tell me to breathe

But the air is thin between us

This altitude is usually too far from out our reaches

This breeze is stealing heat and all this smoky sweetness

But it’s you that leaves me smoldering and speechless

Hook (Ivy Sole):

Left the windows open

Letting all the smoke get outside

Tell me that you’re floating

But how high?

Tell me that you’re hoping

That you can take these wings for a ride

So now’s the time to show me

How high?

Verse 2 (Dev*):

How high

Where eyes don’t reach

Swan dive

On Zion’s Beach

While

We whisper prayers

That whip through air

Like missiles

Aimed at angels

That whistle credos

Hallelujah

To you and that God you praise

And the ones you don’t

Cause the God you love

Ain’t the one that that rolled these J’s

That was me

So when we crash land

Finding comfort

In ashed hands

And you ask how high

I’ll reply in a line

Like confiding in blue bird’s

Hashtags

Way way way up

You don’t have to say say say much

Let Womack lift you

And when the silence reminds of the sky

I promise to go back with you

Hook (Ivy Sole & Dev):

Left the windows open

Letting all the smoke get outside

Tell me that you’re floating

But how high?

Tell me that you’re hoping

That you can take these wings for a ride

So now’s the time to show me

How high?
