Matthews, Dave - Too High Lyrics






Your bones are brittle
Inside you
Wrapped so soft your blood
Is running I'll be there
If you're moving slowly
We still get there I'll be there
Such a strong desire
Hunger

All you need to hope you keep your head, yeah
The slow hand quickens

What you've done with all those
Around you
Hopeful always that someone
Will come and save you but I'll be there
To watch you sulk returning
Seething I'll be there
Minutes hold onto hours
Get's you twisting

All you need to hope you keep your head, yeah ooh
The slow hand quickens

How'd you leave it with the love you lost?
You made them crawl to be without you
The slow hand quickens

Yeah sand is empty
In the hourglass I'll be there
To turn it over and over
In your head
So you keep the hope you get your day, yeah

The slow hand's quicker
Oh, you seem too hard to break too cold to burn
Afraid your chance is gone
Your wires are crossed
Your mouth is lost
You fear you left it far too long
The minutes passed
The hours are gone
So hard to find your way alone

The slow hand's quicker, yeah
The slow hand's quicker
The slow hand's quicker

I
Your slow hand's quicker

  1. B.... 9....

    Fuck George W. Bush!

  2. B.... 9....

    Possibly written about George W. Bush and all of his mistakes

  3. M.... P....

    Summer 2019!!!

  4. D.... F....

    Pause. Edit. Recut.

  5. B.... R....

    I like the end

  6. C.... S....

    One of the best poets of our time!

  7. L.... M....

    this reminds me of being in your deathbed, and finally realizing that time will go on, and you won't be there for it.

    L.... M....

    Time running out, time to repent

    L.... M....

    We percieve it to quicken and even to slow at times. Yet it keeps ticking at the same speed all along

  8. d.... 1....

    did he write all the instrumental parts?

  9. T.... A....

    I believe this song is about an intense high (obviously) and each time the slow hand quickens it is him coming out of it, but the hour glass just keeps on turning over and over.

  10. E.... M....

    The French horns at the end make this song

    E.... M....

    Ezdras Meraz-Lerma hells yeah.

  11. s.... ....

    Maybe one of his best songs... and so obscure.

  12. g.... ....

    "How'd you leave it with the love you lost, you made them crawl to be without you...The slow hand quickens." Wow

  13. A.... S....

    Reminds me of broken crown by mumford and sons with the chords at the end

    A.... S....

    Should be the other away around. This song is almost 15yrs old. Way before m&s

  14. M.... K....

    Honestly can't get enough of this song. ..

  15. Z.... f....

    Tanhklulfy the Barin can rcegocnzie wrods eevn.

    Whats a Jesud.

    Pensado em Ti Mb.

  18. a.... ....

    Magical

  19. R.... W....

    Flooding ALL White countries and ONLY White countries with non-Whites and then forcing assimilation is a program of White genocide.

    Africa will still be full of Africans
    Asia will still be full of Asians.
    Only White children will suffer from this.

    Read the UN genocide conventions: It is genocide, White Genocide.

    They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White

  20. a.... ....

    this song takes me back.. we used to get fucked and listen to it in college

    a.... ....

    This song is full of reality

  21. T.... M....

    You're* an*

    Two mistakes within a three-words sentence. Not bad.

  22. s.... k....

    your a idiot

  23. o.... ....

    If Jesud comes back, this would the first song in his ipod

  24. G.... M....

    This is definitely the best track off the Some Devil album. The orchestra is the best part for sure. And the song is just as haunting as Halloween.

  25. f.... d....

    this song has always struck a chord in me. im a die hard dave fan, but there is something aobut this song

  26. G.... B....

    another song from Matthews, which made me think it's an old hit cover, because it sounds so magical and familiar. But nope, it's original. damn.

  27. I.... C....

    This song is just freaking amazing. I mean is this real?

  28. I.... C....

    Wow pretty good song.

  29. H.... ....
