Damn Yankees - High Enough

Damn Yankees - High Enough - Meanig of the song

"High Enough" was the first single from Damn Yankees, the supergroup of Jack Blades from Night Ranger, Tommy Shaw from Styx, Ted Nugent, and drummer Michael Cartellone.

Jack Blades explains the story behind the song:

"High Enough' was about how you love someone so much and you just don't want to scare them away. And it's like, do I take the next step? And then she freaks out when you go, 'I love you.' And it's like, 'What!?!? I'm outta here!' And you're, 'Wait a minute! Come back!' But then the girl comes back, because in the bridge it's, (singing) 'The next thing I remember I was running back for more.' You know how you get scared at first when you fall in love, and everybody freaks out, and that can't be right. And then you go, Wait a minute, this is great, let's forget about the past. Can you fly me over yesterday? Can you take me high enough to fly me over yesterday?"

High Enough - Lyrics

I don't wanna hear about it anymore It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore There's a fire in my heart A pounding in my brain It's driving me crazy We don't need to talk about it anymore Yesterday's just a memory Can we close the door I just made one mistake I didn't know what to say When you called me baby Don't say goodnight Say you're gonna stay forever Oh, whoa, all the way Can you take me high enough To fly me over (fly me over) yesterday Can you take me high enough It's never over Yesterday's just a memory (Yesterday's just a memory and) I don't want to live without you anymore Can't you see I'm in misery And you know for sure I would live and die for you And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby Don't say goodbye Say you're gonna stay forever Oh, whoa, all the way Can you take me high enough Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday Can you take me high enough It's never over Yesterday's just a memory I'm running I was running for the door The next thing I remember I was running back for more, yeah Don't say goodbye Say you're gonna stay forever Oh, whoa, all the way (all the way, all the way, yeah) Can you take me high enough Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday Can you take me high enough It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa Can you take me high enough Won't you fly me over (won't you fly me over) yesterday Can you take me high enough It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa
