[Verse 1]
If you want, if you will, you know I'm good for it
If you want, if you will, you know I'm all about it
See, I've been waiting patiently to catch a falling star
Now here you are, I want ya
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the high life? For things to go our way
Are you ready for the big time? Turn night into day
Are you ready for the high life? For things to go our way
Are you on? 'Cause I'm on, eh-eh-eh
[Verse 2]
We'll take a car to the West End, to catch a Broadway show
Call ahead to book our table, we'll find a place to go
Or if you're feeling wildern, yeah, we'll find a plot to talk 'bout
Situations, about temptations (Woo)
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the big time? Turn night into day
Are you ready for the high lifе? For things to go our way
Are you on? 'Cause I'm on
[Bridge]
You werе a lifeline in this darkest time
You pick me up, you spun me 'round, you got me back in line (Come on)
You were a lifeline in this darkest time, you better believe it
But there ain't no getting over it (Ain't no getting over it)
There ain't no going under it (Ain't no stepping over it)
There ain't no tripping over it (Ain't no getting used to it)
There ain't no use going around it (Ain't no getting over it)
You're such a flirt
You're such a flirt
You're doing too much
You're such a flirt (Flirt)
And you're doing too much, you're doing too much
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the high life?
Are you ready for the big time?
Are you ready for the high life? For things to go our way
Are you on? 'Cause I'm on
[Outro]
'Cause I'm on (Are you?)
'Cause I'm on (Are you?)
'Cause I'm on (Are you?)
'Cause I'm on (Are you?)

Kele Okereke:
I wanted High Life to sound like falling in love again, the start of a new love intertwining, cemented by nights of abandon and stolen moments of intimacy. I really wanted it to feel like a celebration.
