Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's nostalgic
We gon' take this back
With the Cloud 9 remix
L-Boogie, John Legend
Hey
[Verse 2]
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby, baby we're so high
So high, yeah
[Verse 3]
You're so conscious and self-aware
I'm next to you, I hold your back and you express pure ecstasy
It's more than just the sex to me
'Cause mentally, you take me there
Take me there, take me there, take me there
Yo, I pretended to be unaffected
You intended to be respected
I commend your boldness, you didn't fear being rejected, no
So you approached me, while other men remained intimidated
Glad you did, 'cause once you came
You got much more than anticipated
And it's true, I've got the mind of a genius
And every time we kiss, we feel the magnetic fields react between us
I think it's something to witness your vulnerability
The definition of a real man, he can acknowledge how he feels for me
And I'm fascinated with your manhood exploration
Your transparent language, how you articulate the situation
And I can see it in your stare, in your air
I love the texture of your hair
Statuesque, black and beautiful, like classical architecture, yeah
[Verse 4]
Baby, since the day you came into my life
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday impossibilities
And you proved my fantasies, our love could really be
[Verse 5]
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds, we're floating away
[Verse 6]
Ooh, this feels so crazy
Oh, this love is blazing
Baby, we're so high
Walking on cloud nine
So high, so high, so high
[Verse 7]
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby, baby we're so high
Baby, we're so high, yeah
Baby, we're so high, yeah
[Verse 8]
Now maybe later, we can go up to the moon
Or sail among the stars before the night is through
And when morning comes, we'll see the sun is not so far
And we can't get much closer to God than where we are
[Verse 9]
So we'll go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds, we're floating away
[Verse 10]
Ooh, this feels so crazy
Oh, this love is blazing
Baby, we're so high
Walking on cloud nine
So high (So high)
So high (So high)
So high (So high) oh
[Verse 11]
Feels like this love could be
All that it's supposed to be
Feels just like ecstasy
Each time you're holding me
All that we fantasize
We come to realize
Baby, baby, baby, we can touch the sky
[Verse 12]
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby, baby we're so high
We're so high, yeah
Baby, we're so high, yes
Feels like we can kiss the sky
Baby, baby we're so high
Baby, we're so high, so high
Baby, we're so high
[Verse 13]
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating away
[Verse 14]
Ooh, this feels so crazy
Oh, this love is blazing
And baby, we're so high
Walking on cloud nine
So high
So high
So high
[Verse 15]
Said it feels real good, yeah
Said it feels real good, baby, baby
Baby, baby, yeah, yeah
(This is how love's supposed to be)
Let's go to the moon, baby
(This is how love's supposed to be) So high
