Broken Bells - The High Road Lyrics

2020!!!

One of the BEST songs I've heard in forever. The voices, melody....fuckin love it!!!!! ❤❤

2020 Playlist ❤

Who knew a song about taking the easy way out would inspire me to be a better person

It's genius.

Seni her şey sanardım yanılmadım sen her şeysin

The song is brilliant. If you ever dealt with someone with borderline personality, it fits.

[Verse 1]
We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow
And to each his own
The garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a barrel
"I don't know if you're dead or not
If you're anyone"

[Pre-Hook]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads, to analyze
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

[Hook]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

[Verse 2]
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
But to each his own
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk, to anyone

[Pre-Hook]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads, are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

[Hook]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

[Outro]
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You've let loss be your guide

French Montana brought me here

This is a absolutely amazing song bravo broken bells

This song was posted almost exactly at the start of the decade, Jan 21, 2010. Now it's December 11th, 2019.



Glad I heard this song one last time, before the 2010s are over.

OMG!!! Finally I find it!!! Love this song!!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!

This song carried me through a decade

Beautiful, the whole album.

I never get tired of this song .

i didnt know kevin spacey's little brother was in a band :o

2:48 i can't stop replaying this part😍😍😍

Just found out that the broken bells and the shins are the same

What the frick is wrong with those dislikes ?

Really really great song ☺️, but I don't really understand the lyrics/text.

La musica del harry fraud

Memories.....My great favorite

Broken Bells just dropped a new song! "Good Luck." Go check it out.

I used to listen to this band everyday with my mom and I just found them again and I'm so happy!

🇧🇷

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Was in Khols today and they were playing this. Always loved this song

Thank you NPR All Songs Considered for putting this great song on my playlist

musicão

Won’t take it from me👁🤨🤫🖕

Heard this in an espresso shop. They told me name of group and song playing. Never heard of this song..loving it!

This song an album is on a whole nother level, the nostalgia wrapped in this track only heightens my experience of it.

Pissed off I just discovered this great band. Happy that I can enjoy all their beautiful music

Crazy how a song this good isn't even the best on the album... criminally underrated

I love this song. Like...LOVE this song

Whenever this song's vocals start I think of The Church's Under The Milky Way , gives me that same melancholy vibe. LOVE IT

I’m here because of French Montana

I had to type in "Come on and get your minimum to each his own" to find this song. Success.

The white horse....think I finally see it after 10 years. This song hurts my bones so much. Thanks Broken Bells for the eternal piece

The Garden needs sorting out

How i be entering area 51

Muito bom!!!

omg from 2012 in our old gaarage after the fire in 2016 2019 my dad put it on in the new garage and was like omg its been like 7 years wow

It's too late to change gumbs mind..!!!lemme find an ace sparklehorse track

Did the shins break up?

Sohi oh hello where did u grow relax spread your roots we have the fruits

My dad showed me this song before he died. I miss this

came here from the "rabbit hole" trailer.

The tune resembles the track on GTA radios. Good old days

Great song...too bad they didn't get the accolades they deserve.

This song evokes such a deep emotional reaction in me...it's a nighttime driving song with somber, nostalgic undertones and it's just...so beautiful. Furthermore, this band is underrated AS HELL, making me even sadder! *I love Broke Bells sm*

Thank you Broken Bells you understand me, I was in the loony bin when this song was released as an nme of state. Its called Devinanation, but now I guess its called War?

Love Danger Mouse

Lead singer has an Edward Norton esq look to him

Gay ass chorus - You can do better.

Excellent...great job Broken Bells.

After all these years, I stil love this song in 2019.

They just dropped a new song! Called "Good Luck."

And it will still be great in 2020 ☺️

This song is so chill but yet so deep. I will never forget this song

Can confirm. Still great in 2020

Yasss. In 2020, now.

I always come back to watching this . Such an awesome song.

We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow
And to each his own
The garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a barrel
"I don't know if you're dead or not
If you're anyone"

[Pre-Hook]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads, to analyze
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

[Hook]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

[Verse 2]
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
But to each his own
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk, to anyone

This reminds me of Highway 65 between Bakersfield and Porterville

Takes me back to when I did acid the first time. I was young. Life was so easy and fun. I thought to myself i can't wait to grow up. 7 years later life isn't what I expected, if i could go back to the day i found this song I would.

i just rediscovered this album in my ipod. Now I can't stop listening to it. I love them!

I love this band! sooo good!

Just discovered this song! Really good it has a 70s vibe.

The way this song shifts between melancholy and sober is beautiful.

En verdad duré AÑOS en saber el nombre de esta canción, de algo me sirvió Spotify x)

Falling in love with these guys. They are like a mix of Cage the Elephant and Foster the People with hints of Panic! At the Disco and some old fashioned disco.

Very interesting!

I'll take the low road in I'll take the high road ou...oh wait srry wrong song still good though

AP French exam flashbacks

I don’t think I heard this in 2011. I would have loved it back then, though. I love it now, that’s for sure.

Sounds like something that would have come out in the mid-90s

Bop on, fellas.

YAY!!! LOVE IT!!!

ok... why is Kevin spacey in this video? lol

This song's insanely good. I keep going back to it years after discovering it.

I loved this song the first time I heard it. It's that VOICE.

I think I understand the first part of this video: When they come across the kid with the car and wrest it away from him, is that symbolism for a time when a friend was either drunk or driving dangerously - treating their car as a toy - and the singer wishes he would have taken the keys from him? Because later they happen across a car accident, and he sees himself banged up and being interviewed by a cop, suggesting what really happened?

Underrated

I can’t believe it will be a decade since this came out next year

Hermosa

I will never tire from listening to this song.

This song I had to find since I heard French Montana sample on his song To Each It’s Own

All I can think is, “and then you really might know what it’s like.”

great song

I always sneak this song in on my blur/gorillaz/the good the bad and the queen playlist.

These guys sounds just like U2

How am I just now discovering this gem?

French Montana sent me...
