Matt Nathanson - Come on Get Higher

14 September 2009
So I have no idea why, but I love this song. It just has a really catchy chorus and the flow is awesome. I just looked up the lyrics for the first time and with it I found some people's interpretation of certain parts of the song:
-------------------------------------------------------
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
Make you believe
Make you forget


If he could show her in some grandiose fashion (such as walking on water) to make her believe they can work things out, he would do it. He wants to make her forget the bad times that led to the breakup and believe that they can work through them...

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said


It's been awhile since the breakup as evidenced by him having trouble remembering all the little details. He's trying hard to retain those memories. And in his rosy retrospection, even her "violent" words (the yelling, the bad) are tolerable. He misses it all.

I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and God when you come on
hold on...


They have an undeniable chemistry together (sparks) and it was a deep, true and passionate love.

Come on get higher
Come on and get higher
Because everything works love
Because everything works in your heart


He is saying if it's real love, then they should be able to work it all out. Love supersedes all. Or it does in theory.
---------------------------------------------
I just think it's a really good song! This song is relatively new. As in, the last year or so. Expect much more to come from Matt Nathanson.
