Hanging High

Lykke Li · Youth Novels [2008]

Oh thunder in my heart

These razors cutting sharp

And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar



So soft, so suddenly

So that I can not breathe

I'm drawn into a circle painted black



Oh I'm hanging high

Oh won't you let me down

Back where I started at

You know I'm a little lost



And when it hurts the most

I'll push a little more

I'm back where I started at

You know I'm a little lost



Like lightning in my heart

A kiss so burning hot

I'm hanging on a thread that's bound to drop



Like rain on open skies

Don't know the reason why

But I'll always choose the black in front of white



Oh I'm hanging high

Oh won't you let me down

Back where I started at

You know I'm a little lost



And when it hurts the most

I'll push a little more

I'm back where I started at

You know I'm a little lost
