Lyrics
The thermostat's set to seventy-one degrees in June.
The landscapers invoice just came through this afternoon.
This whole house smells like lemon oil and sealed windows.
This is the longitude I drew for you, I suppose.
A new map, laid out in marble and cool chrome.
But I can't find the coordinates for home.
[Chorus]
We're on the high ground now.
So why am I still looking down?
Got the whole damn topographical view.
But the only landmark I see is you.
[Verse 2]
Remember back in '18, counting quarters for the gas?
Your mom's red rice steaming up the Honda's glass.

You said, "Baby, we just gotta find a signal in the noise."
I guess I amplified the wrong damn voice.
[Bridge]
I learned the cadence of the men who own the view.
Translated myself for them, and it came true.
But the pressure gradient is all wrong in this air.
This elevation is just a gilded cage of care.
[Outro]
Yeah, we're on the high ground now.
Looking down.
