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
