Way Up High*
Lyrics From Live Performance

[Verse 1]
Busyhead, oh, where you heading?
Well, I heard you on the radio today
And you sang about a place I've known my whole life
And you sang in such a sad and angry way

[Verse 2]
Do I even have to say I'm rooting for ya
When I drove you home from every restaurant?
Where they drank and ate, but mostly they ignored ya
But I bit my cheeks, and I screamed for every song

[Pre-Chorus]
And, when you were driving
You were so quiet
I wanted so bad
To feel you
To be near you
But you were so mad

[Chorus]
I promise
That we'd root for you
To land safely on the ground
When it all ends
And the screws come loose
Just know you made us proud
When you flew
When you flew
Way up high
[Verse 3]
When I woke you for your flight to California
You were caught between a nightmare and a dream
I could never make you fine with being no one
So, I held you close, and you sobbed into my sleeve

[Pre-Chorus]
And, when you were crying
You were so quiet
I wanted so bad
To be near you
To go with you
But you had already left

[Chorus]
And I promise
I will root for you
To land safely on the ground
When it all ends
And the screws come loose
Just know you made us proud
When you flew
And you flew
Way up high

[Instrumental Break: Guitar]
[Chorus]
And I promise
That I'd root for you
To land safely on the ground
When it all ends
And the screws come loose
Just know you made us proud
When you flew
And you flew
Way up high
