Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town
[Chorus]
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And, oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
[Verse 2]
Girl, you used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance till mornin' sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop till we're done
[Chorus]
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And, oh, we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
[Bridge]
High life
High life
In the high life again
[Chorus]
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And, oh, we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
[Outro]
High life
Back in the high life
Oh, we'll be back
