I get a little tired looking through the trees Sitting on the 405 hoping for a breeze Everybody's gunning, they got something to see I gotta sell this ticket, get the shadow off of me So what is your problem? You've been moping around You need to find a mountaintop and get out of this town She says, sometimes, you gotta get away Clear out that noggin, open up the day Above the timberline The higher I go, the harder I climb I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind Love shines bright above the timberline Now things get slower when it's harder to breathe I can almost touch the stars that are hanging over me You've never been more beautiful, and it's easy to see All that really matters, you're all I'll ever need I'm getting to the bottom at the top of the world Leaving trivialities parked down at the curb All that noise between us, now it can't be heard I'm listening to the wind, I'm writing down the words Above the timberline The higher I go, the harder I climb I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind Love shines bright above the timberline Now I'll be coming home, I'll be coming home soon Before I head on down I'm gonna kiss the moon Above the timberline The higher I go, the harder I climb I'm closer to you, it's clear in my mind Love shines bright above the timberline Above the timberline No hitting the brakes, no waiting in line The farther you go, the higher you'll climb Love shines bright above the timberline
