Song Description
Beautiful, melancholy but slightly optimistic song about feeling lost and like you aren't quite making it. The "High Achievers" concept is about the emotional disconnect of sticking with your feelings verses caving to the pressures to "make it" in this world.

Lyrics
High Achievers, Part 3
I'm gonna make you something great, just wait for it
Take the whole blue sky, it's made for us
Wrap it up and make it ours and bake it in a pie
We're high in the ocean, we're high in the trees
High in our hang-ups and hopped up on our dreams
When I'm good enough, I'll shake this madness free
I don't dream because it's easier
I don't feel because it's safe
I just float in the ocean, up and down with the waves
Going up and down with the waves
We're high in the ocean, we're high in the trees
High in our hang-ups and hopped up on our dreams
I don't care that I want you so much more than you want me
When I'm good enough, I'll shake this madness free
Ooo, get high, achievers
