I've Been High

Song available on Reveal.

have you seen?
have not, will travel.
have I missed the big reveal?

do my eyes
do my eyes seem empty?
I've forgotten how this feels.

I've been high
I've climbed so high
but life sometimes
it washes over me.

have you been?
have done, will travel.
I fell down on me knees.

was I wrong?
I don't know, don't answer.
I just needed to believe.

I've been high
I've climbed so high
but life sometimes
it washes over me.

so
I dive into a pool so cool and deep that if I sink I sink
and when I swim I fly so high

what I want
what I really want is
just to live my life on high.

and I know
I know you want the same
I can see it in your eyes.

I've been high
I've climbed so high
but life sometimes
it washes over me.

washes over me
close my eyes so I can see
make my make believe believe
in me

How can I describe I´ve been high? As a gorgeous song that reminds us the new R.E.M. sound... one of the greatest song ever made since Losing my religion.... congratulation Stipe, Buck and Mills=).


By Antonio Greatest since Losing My Religion??? LMR was a great pop song, however, what about Be Mine? Find the River? Leave? Walk Unafraid? All those, IMO are better than LMR. (Just to name a few)


By Doug One of the best songs ever written.
It's the real life... I love it...
Thank you, guys


By Carolin This is my most favorite song on this whole cd. I can't say its my favorite r.e.m. song because my favorite one changes every week. But I can say that for right now it is my favorite!! R.E.M. has been my favorite band for my whole life ever since my brother and sister would play it when i was little. They are amazing musicians! That's just cool that they're drawn like south park guys.


By Allison my favourite in this album.Stipe sings so beautifully.He is God.
