floating over your bed, I was high.
high and mighty; looked into your mind.
saw everything that I wanted.
captured it inside my resin,
and I'll keep you here.
driving over that bridge, you were mine:
high and mighty, almost all the time.
got everything that I came for.
further, just two and a half more,
and I'll keep you here.
moving out of your town.
that main drag's high and mighty; you're counting what you have.
burned everything that you came for.
swallowed the smoke off the dashboard,
but I'll keep you here.
