Lyrics & Translation

[English]

oh angel sent from up above you know you make my world light up

when I was down, when I was hurt you came to lift me up

life is a drink and love’s a drug oh now I think I must be miles up

when I was a river dried up you came to rain a flood

you said ‘drink from me, drink from me’ when I was so thirsty

poured on a symphony now I just can’t get enough

put your wings on me, on me when I was so heavy

poured on a symphony when I’m low low low low

I oh I oh I got me feeling drunk and high

so high so high oh I oh I oh I

now I’m feeling drunk and high so high so high

oh angel sent from up above I feel you coursing through my blood

life is a drink and your love’s about to make the stars come out

put your wings on me, on me when I was so heavy

poured on a symphony when I’m low low low low

I oh I oh I you got me feeling drunk and high

so high so high oh I oh I oh I

now I’m feeling drunk and high so high so high

I oh I oh I la la la la la la la

so high so high

oh I oh I oh I now I’m feeling drunk and high

so high so high that I shoot across the sky

that I shoot across the that I shoot across the sky

watch me shoot across the…..
