Five for Fighting - Above the Timberline Lyrics

I get a little tired
Looking through the trees
Sitting on the 405 hoping for a breeze
Everybody's gunning
They got something to see
I gotta sell this ticket
Get the shadow off of me

So what is your problem?
You've been moping around
You need to find a mountaintop
And get out of this town
She says, sometimes, you gotta get away
Clear out that noggin, open up the day

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline

Now things get slower when
It's harder to breathe
I can almost touch the stars
That are hanging over me
You've never been more beautiful
And it's easy to see
All that really matters
You're all I'll ever need

I'm getting to the bottom at
The top of the world
Leaving trivialities parked down at the curb
All that noise between us
Now it can't be heard
I'm listening to the wind
I'm writing down the words

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline

Now I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home soon
Before I head on down I'm gonna kiss the moon

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline

Above the timberline
No hitting the brakes, no waiting in line
The farther you go, the higher you'll climb
Love shines bright above the timberline
