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 boarders 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 how to change
'Cos everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyine needs some one to live by
Everyone needs some one
Everyone needs some one
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
