Liz Varum & the Goode Moode - High Expectations Lyrics

Mahogany
I dreamt of your scent
Venice, rum, and company
What have you done to me
Not enough apparently
What did I give to you
A lesson in transparency

Sweet, abandoned wooden ship of mine
Just, abandoned somewhere in my mind
I know that you would carry me
Carry me into the sea
If between us was a fraction of the time

I got high expectations (oh, oh)
High expectations (oh, oh)
High expectations (oh, oh)
High expectations (yeah)

Melody
At a loss for words I am
You're grinning childishly
And frankly I don't give a damn
You coerce me with your masculine embrace
This ain't reality
False memories we chase

Oh no, no, no
A forest fire inside my lungs
Oh, don't tell me that I'm still too young
'Cus I know that you would carry me
Carry me into the sea
If between us was a fraction of the time

I got high expectations (oh, oh)
High expectations (oh, oh)
High expectations (oh, oh)
High expectations (yeah)

No, a forest fire inside my lungs
Oh, don't tell me that I'm still too young
'Cus I know that you would carry me
Carry me into the sea
If between us was a fraction of the time
