[Verse 1]
Friend of mine
Friend of mine
Told me about a girl that I left behind
Said she was living on her own
And I said she needed to go home
So I tried to find

Tried to find
But she's elusive at the best of times
Best of times
I tried to get inside her head
I tried to think of what I said

Yeah I was looking through the cold dark nights
But there was nothing to find
I asked a stranger if he knew your name
Said you nearly lost your mind

[Chorus]
Looking for the high life
'Cause it's over now
Said that you could see it
In her eyes
Looking for the high life
Wasn't working out
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life

[Verse 2]
There she goes
There she goes
It's too late but I should have told
Should have told
That she don't need to be like them
To be loved in the end

So she went off into the cold dark night
But there was nothing find
I should have held close for one last time
So she wouldn't lose her mind

[Chorus]
Looking for the high life
'Cause it's over now
Said that you could see it
In her eyes
Looking for the high life
Wasn't working out
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life

Looking for the high life
'Cause it's over now
Said that you could see it
In her eyes
Looking for the high life
Wasn't working out
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life
Yeah, she'll be looking for the rest of her life
Said she'll be looking for the rest of her life
Her life
