Lanessan - Never Been This High Lyrics

Eight years old and hardly daring
To even add a grass stain to my jeans
But down below my friends are cheering
The breeze is tickling my cheeks
Skinned my knees up on the branches
I'm calling down now through the leaves
I've never been this high in the trees
Nothing but air beneath my feet
Watch our shadows grow as the sun sinks home
Oh it feels like make-believe
To me
Sixteen and could have sat there on the shore for days
The way your laughter washes over me
Learn you forwards backwards reading every page
There's something in your eyes I've never seen
Wrap me in kisses and your arms and legs
Come dance up to the clouds with me
I've never been this high in the trees
Nothing but air beneath my feet
Watch our shadows grow as the sun sinks home
Oh it feels like make-believe
To me
Give me back the beauty and the joy
Of my younger days
Pure abandon of when I was just a boy
Before I learned to be afraid
And it feels so bittersweet
Oh and I never want to leave
I've never been this high in the trees
Nothing but air beneath my feet
Watch our shadows grow as the sun sinks home
Oh it feels like make-believe
It still feels like make-believe
To me
