Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Waking up to sunshine, the ocean’s at my door
In the streets of Miami, where everyone wants more
From the rooftop bars to the blue skies
I’m living the high life, where the dreams come alive
Cruisin’ down the coast, i feel so alive
[Pre-Chorus]
From the clubs to the beaches, the party never ends
In the city of sin, where every stranger’s a friend
[Chorus]
This is the high life (High life),
where the sun always shines (High life)
And everything feel right (high life)
I'm living the high life (High life)
This is the High life (high life)
[Verse 2]
Art Deco buildings, they tell a story so old
Of a city reborn, ruled by the young and bold
With the music pumping loud and the drinks on ice
In this paradise city, I’m rolling the dice
[Pre-Chorus]
From the clubs to the beaches, the party never ends
In the city of sin, where every stranger’s a friend
[Chorus]
This is the high life (High life),
where the sun always shines (High life)
And everything feel right (high life)
I'm living the high life (High life)
This is the High life (high life)
[Chorus]
This is the high life (High life),
where the sun always shines (High life)
And everything feel right (high life)
I'm living the high life (High life)
This is the High life (high life)
(High life)
[Outro]
(high life)
(high life)
this is the high life
(high life)
(high life)
