[Verse 1]
Take your time, no need to run
Now you're free from the web I've spun
The space between us grows
And there's no telling where we go after we're gone, gone
[Chorus]
There's no telling where we go after we're gone
Only Heaven knows
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher, taking you higher
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher, taking you higher
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher, taking you higher
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher
There's no telling where we go after we're gone
Gone
[Verse 2]
Drenched in wine, you're so divine
Emptied out the wells of time
And all the mountains you never climbed
Now you become the signs
Now you become every bird that says hi
And every goodbye
Forever on my mind
[Chorus]
There's no telling where we go after we're gone
Gone, gone, gone
I only hope it takes you higher and higher and higher
And higher and higher
Taking you higher, taking you higher
Taking you higher
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher, taking you higher
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher, taking you higher
I only hope it's taking you higher
Taking you higher
