Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How high, oh, I can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile, while you hitchhike
Love shines a light, I'm a lovin' cup
And I'm looking for the one who cut you up
You're not having me, you know the skies are mean
And I'm lookin' for a way to free you, love
[Verse 2]
I'm fixin' holes, the ones you break
You're comin' from your drive
And the hand that rocks you cuts you up
Like lyrics of your life
[Verse 3]
I can't buy what I've done before
I want to open up another door
I'm gonna let you pass on another path
I wanna be the king while you zig zag
On a holy road like Caine from Kung Fu
How high, oh, I can kiss the sun
[Verse 4]
Hang onto your hopes my darlin'
Don't let it slip away
And the hand that holds you keeps you warm
And helps you live today
[Verse 5]
Love shines a light and it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right, I can bend till I burst
And love shines a light and repays you with us
Yeah, too right, I'm gonna pledge my time till the day I die
[Verse 6]
How high, oh, I can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile while you hitch hike
Love shines a light, I'm a lovin' cup
I'll be down when you're down, I'll be up when you're up
You're not havin' it, I know the skies are mean
And I'm lookin' for a way to free you, love
[Verse 7]
I'm fixin' holes, the ones you break
You're comin' from your drive
And the hand that rocks you cuts you up
Like lyrics of your life
[Verse 8]
Love shines a light and it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right, I can bend till I burst
And love shines a light and repays you with us
Yeah, too right, I'm gonna pledge my time till the day I die
