Needtobreathe Highlands
[Verse 1]
Oh, she calls to me in red letters
Like some tails lights in the fog
In the memories of magnolias
In the frailty of fall
It's a work of light and contrast
In the shadows where I roam
Trying to find my place to lay my head
That'll never be my home
[Chorus]
We go down, we go down
We go down with our renegade ways
Trading thy love for little wild lightning
Wondering why it never soothes the pain
So, be my rest, be my mountain
Be my never gonna pass away
When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearing
'Til we all get to see your face
In the highlands
In the highlands
[Verse 2]
I can taste all of the pleasures
Write a melody inclined
Fill my house with golden treasures
All I'm filling up is time
'Til the waking of the sadness
Comes a knocking at my door
Saying you ain't crossed the ocean
Son, you ain't even seen the shore
[Chorus]
'Cause we go down, we go down
We go down with our renegade ways
Trading thy love for little wild lightning
Wondering why it never soothes the pain
So, be my rest, be my mountain
Be my never gonna pass away
When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearing
'Til we all get to see your face
In the highlands
In the highlands
[Bridge]
Oh, how long how long will we be stranded
On this highway, nowhere else to go
Oh, how long until our feet are planted
On the rock of ages, ever known
[Chorus]
We go down, we go down
We go down with our renegade ways
Trading thy love for little wild lightning
Wondering why it never soothes the pain
So, be my rest, be my mountain
Be my never gonna pass away
When I go blind, be the voice I'm hearing
'Til we all get to see your face
In the highlands
Oh, in the highlands
[Outro]
In the highlands
In the highlands
