High Life Lyrics - Mike & The Mechanics

Friend of mine 

Friend of mine 

Told me about a girl that I left behind 

Said she was living on her own 

And I said she needed to go home 

So I tried to find 

Tried to find 

But she's elusive at the best of times 

Best of times 

I tried to get inside her head 

I tried to think of what I said 

Yeah I was looking through the cold dark nights 

But there was nothing to find 

I asked a stranger if he knew your name 

Said you nearly lost your mind

Looking for the high life 

'Cause it's over now 

Said that you could see it 

In her eyes 

Looking for the high life 

Wasn't working out 

But she'll be looking for the rest of her life 

There she goes 

There she goes 

It's too late but I should have told 

Should have told 

That she don't need to be like them 

To be loved in the end 

So she went off into the cold dark night 

But there was nothing find 

I should have held close for one last time 

So she wouldn't lose her mind

Looking for the high life 

'Cause it's over now 

Said that you could see it 

In her eyes 

Looking for the high life 

Wasn't working out 

But she'll be looking for the rest of her life 

Looking for the high life 

'Cause it's over now 

Said that you could see it 

In her eyes 

Looking for the high life 

Wasn't working out 

But she'll be looking for the rest of her life 

Yeah, she'll be looking for the rest of her life 

Said she'll be looking for the rest of her life 

Her life
