Verse 1
Ten skies above one spinning stone
Every dawn a different throne
Eighth floor light where I was born
Dust and noise in golden corn
Pre-Chorus
Something hummed beneath my skin
A current I could not begin
I smiled small and stayed inside
Walls were tall and I could hide
Chorus
Two little worlds we never crossed
One quiet wish we never lost
The sphere lit up then broke to dust
And heaven sent for both of us
Post-Chorus
Come and take me
Take me higher
Come and take me
Higher
Verse 2
Fifth floor nights he kept his peace
While I dreamed in the lowest east
Same strange hum behind the glass
Counting down the days to pass
Pre-Chorus
They drove that golden carriage slow
Ten gates high and ten gates low
Nothing free beneath that crown
Perfection is a gilded town
Chorus
Two little worlds we never crossed
One quiet wish we never lost
The sphere lit up then broke to dust
And heaven sent for both of us
Post-Chorus
Come and take me
Take me higher
Come and take me
Higher
Bridge
I never asked to shake the ground
I only wanted some safe sound
But power burns where love had been
So I will break these walls to win
Chorus
Two little worlds we never crossed
One quiet wish we never lost
The sphere lit up then broke to dust
And heaven sent for both of us
Post-Chorus
Come and take me
Take me higher
Come and take me
Higher
