High Life Lyrics - The Spirit Indestructible - Nelly Furtado

They say I was always destined for fortune and fame 

Now that I've gotten what I wanted everything's changed 

And now I'm living the 

High life, high life 

I never looked back once I left my hometown 

High life, high life 

I left behind everybody I know 

And now I'm singing like 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la 

And everybody sings along like 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la 

Be careful when you're wishing for the high life 

They say you have to come clean with your past to move on 

All of my dreams have come true but something still feels wrong 

But I'm still living the 

High life, high life 

I never looked back once I left my hometown 

High life, high life 

Said goodbye to everybody I know 

And now I'm singing like 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la 

And everybody sings along like 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la 

Be careful when you're wishing for the high life 

Everybody's dreaming of the high life 

It may look good from the outside 

But all I really wanted was a good life 

With a memory reel of all the highlights 

All I want is to sleep good at night 

Look myself in the mirror knowing that I live right 

So when I'm six feet in the ground 

I'll be singing like 

A million dollars in palm 

Not a worry in the world, that's everything I want 

I'm wishing I was there I feel like it's where I belong 

I wanna be able to go pay all the bills for my mom 

And make her smile 

Pick up my family and take em out 

On me 

And my over capacitated bank account 

Money is all I think about 

Of my life it's a highlight 

Tired of being low I'm ready for the high life 

Look at me now 

Look at how I get down 

Stubs and Wooten on my feet 

I'm the flyest youngin in town 

But I'm loosin it 

My vision has just become an illusion 

And Now my highlife is low again 

Struggling to hold it in I was on a mission 

And messed everything up making all the wrong decisions 

I know it's not the end Well then again it might be 

And it's sucks god forbid you ever end up like me 

And now I'm singing like 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la 

And everybody sings along like 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la 

Be careful when you're wishing for the high life 

Be careful when you're wishing for the high life 

Be careful when you're wishing for the high life 

Be careful when you're wishing for the high life
