[vocal improvisation recommended]
Okay
(One, two)
I could let it fade, baby
You could spin it into gold
I could take the blame
You could turn cold
Was it something she meant?
Maybe something he planned
I could bite my tongue, play pretend
If it’s heavy, baby
You should say it out clear
It’s not defeat when you shift your gear
If you’re aiming for that high ground
I can tell that you’ve lost your way
There’s a cleaner cut to the silence
’Cause you’ve been dodging this truth for days, too many days
Did you drop that weight?
Did you call her late?
Did she twist that knife, make you hesitate
Were they tying you tight?
Was he picking that fight?
Did they leave you cracked but you’re acting alright
If it’s heavy, baby
You should say it out clear
It’s not defeat when you shift your gear
If you’re aiming for that high ground
I can tell that you’ve lost your way
There’s a cleaner cut to the silence
’Cause you’ve been dodging this truth for days, oh
So you wanna sketch a portrait
Of every tiny scar I made
Now you’re climbing up the high ground
’Cause the path you chose won’t fade (won’t fade)
Is it really that easy, baby?
You should say it out clear
It’s not defeat when you shift your gear
If you’re aiming for that high ground
I can tell that you’ve lost your way
There’s a cleaner cut to the silence
’Cause you’ve been dodging this truth for days
So you wanna sketch a portrait
Of every tiny scar I made
Now you’re climbing up the high ground
’Cause the path you chose won’t fade
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
If it’s heavy, baby
You should say it out clear
It’s not defeat when you shift your gear
If you’re aiming for that high ground
I can tell that you’ve lost your way
There’s a cleaner cut to the silence
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
If it’s heavy, baby
You should say it out clear
It’s not defeat when you shift your gear
If you’re aiming for that high ground
I can tell that you’ve lost your way
There’s a cleaner cut to the silence
