Figured this would be a fun little thing to add. Today’s lyrics are from singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik who is best known for his hit “Barely Breathing.” This particular lyric is from his most recent album, Daylight.
Why I like these lyrics:
It’s a good “hey, everything’s ok…really!” song. Sheik is a Buddhist and has a lot of that spiritual tinge to his lyrics. This is a good outlook on life.
Favorite Line:
I have the sun, it’s a star
why should I refuse it

On a High – Duncan Sheik
I’m on a high, I’m on a high
there’s nothing more to it.
We are the sea and the sky
and the blue that runs through it, yeah.
and there are some who say there are so many things I need
so I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed
I bleed, I bleed
well, it’s a lie it’s a lie – don’t you believe it.
if you’re fine then you’re fine – it’s all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.
I’m on a high I’m on a high
and there’s nothing more to it
I have the sun, it’s a star
why should I refuse it
and there are so many reasons I could give you why I should be down
there’s not enough money or time and my love you’re not around
around, around
but it’s a lie it’s a lie – don’t you believe it.
if you’re fine then you’re fine – it’s all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.
you’re alive you’re alive – how else could you hear me?
you are fine, you are fine – there’s nothing worth fearing
’cause there never will be no conspiracy of happiness
I’m on a high, on a high
we are the sea and the sky
I’m on a high, on a high
I’m on a high
It’s a lie, It’s a lie don’t you believe it
‘Cause I’ve tried and I’ve tried, and I can’t really see it
Yeah, I’m trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness
said I was yours, you were mine but I didn’t really mean it
and I lied and I lied
and I wish you hadn’t seen it
’cause I’m trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness
I’m on a high, on a high, there’s nothing more to it, yeah.
