It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal



I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'cos

Only when I try am I happier to see

My head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to be

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal



But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sad

There's a streak of melancholy running down my back

And there's a great mistrust that borders round the man

I call it strange from a boy who never left his head

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal



And everyone needs someone to live by

Everyone needs someone to live by



But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you beg

For something more for something better than you've had

And I wish I knew

I wish I knew how to change

'Cos everyone needs someone to live by

Everyone needs someone

Everyone needs someone to live by

Everyone needs someone

Everyone needs someone

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
