Higher Place Lyrics

So I think I got it all in place now
No distractions under control
Yet there's something missing inside me
I'm chasing shadows of myself
And the clocks are ticking
Oh my world is spinning
Spinning 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round again

[Chorus]
And I try
I try to reason why
Don't you know I can't go on this way
Baby please don't walk away there is this place
Where I toss away my pride
So you can see that I'm the one
To take you to a higher place this time

I am on the outside looking in
To a place where I will be
Let me give you what you need from me
I surrender my soul to you
And my heart is pounding
And a fire's burning
And my head is spinning, 'round and 'round again

[Chorus]

Oh, I crash, and burn inside my mind
It happens time and time again, I can't explain the way you make me feel
Oh, I know, I don't have much to give
But what I have I give to you with all the madness left inside of me
With the madness left inside of me, oh

[Chorus]
