Lyrics

[Verse 1]
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my
[Chorus]
Soul
I've got no self control
Diggin' like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
[Chorus]
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
[Verse 2]
A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing, but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
[Chorus]
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
[Verse 3]
Love, love, love
Lift me up out of these blues
I believe in you
In you
Believe
In
Love
[Chorus]
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
