High Up is … well i guess it’s a love song, but more about the killing nature of Love. specifically killing the projected idea of love in exchange for what it actually is. Love offers the weapon to end the life of the ego. to choose...
[Intro]
High up, high up
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up (Ooh)
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up (Lookin' at the mountain)
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up
High up, ooh, high up
[Verse 1]
Behind Your back, a cold surprise
In favor of the third degree
I took a breath and took a knife
No, I won't defend the killer in me
What I wanted to couldn't die
I know You know what that's been like
Never backed down, only fell down in blinding light
You pinned me until evening's glow
[Pre-Chorus]
No, didn't count on You
But You counted all day
You're breaking every rule
I'm breaking down on every corner
No, healing isn't easy
[Chorus]
But when You look at me, I'm lifted high up
Higher than my rain clouds
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
Never wanna come down
When You look at me, I'm lifted
[Post-Chorus]
Blue skies are all I see when
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down
High up
[Verse 2]
So when I met my darkest hour
A traitor to the bleeding night
You saw me cowered in the corner
And offered me a second chance
Now every night I wrestle love
Didn't know that it can hurt this much
I count to three and take the jump
And never really hit the ground
[Chorus]
But when You look at me, I'm lifted high up
Higher than my rain clouds
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
Never wanna come down
When You look at me, I'm lifted
[Post-Chorus]
Blue skies are all I see when
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down
High up
[Refrain]
(High up, been lookin' at the mountain that's high up)
(Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up)
(Lookin' at the mountain)
Been lookin' at the mountain that's high up
High up, ooh, high up
[Chorus]
But when You look at me, I'm lifted high up
(Higher than my rain clouds)
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
(Said I never wanna come down)
When You look at me, I'm lifted
[Post-Chorus]
Blue skies are all I see when (I see when)
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)

I co-directed the video alongside my new friend Kevin Clark. Within 10 minutes of first meeting each other, we already had the concept for the video.. both of us feeling drawn to the visual of a car driving through rain soaked streets in the middle of LA. like a downpour of emotion, flooding the st...
