It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'cos Only when I try am I happier to see My head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to be It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sad There's a streak of melancholy running down my back And there's a great mistrust that borders round the man I call it strange from a boy who never left his head It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal And everyone needs someone to live by Everyone needs someone to live by But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you beg For something more for something better than you've had And I wish I knew I wish I knew how to change 'Cos everyone needs someone to live by Everyone needs someone Everyone needs someone to live by Everyone needs someone Everyone needs someone It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
