It used to seem to me

That my life ran on too fast


And I had to take it slowly


Just to make the good parts last




But when you're born to run


It's so hard to just slow down

So don't be surprised to see me


Back in the bright part of town




I'll be back in the high life again


All the doors I closed one time


Will open up again

I'll be back in the high life again


All the eyes that watched me once


Will smile and take me in




And I'll drink and dance with one hand free


Let the world back into me

And oh I'll be a sight to see


Back in the high life again




Girl you used to be the best


To make life be life to me


And I hope that you're still out there

And you're like you used to be





We'll have ourselves a time

And we'll dance till the morning sun


And we'll let the good times come in


And we won't stop till we're done




We'll be back in the high life again


All the doors I closed one time

Will open up again


We'll be back in the high life again


All the eyes that watched us once

Will smile and take us in




And we'll drink and dance with one hand free


And have the world so easily

And oh we'll be a sight to see

Back in the high life again




High life


High life

In the high life again




We'll be back in the high life again

All the doors I closed one time

Will open up again


We'll be back in the high life again

All the eyes that watched us once

Will smile and take us in




And we'll drink and dance with one hand free

And have the world so easily

And oh we'll be a sight to see


Back in the high life again



High life


Back in the high life

Oh, we'll be back
