    Lyrics:
    I don't wanna hear about it anymore
    It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore
    There's a fire in my heart
    A pounding in my brain
    It's driving me crazy
    We don't need to talk about it anymore
    Yesterday's just a memory
    Can we close the door
    I just made one mistake
    I didn't know what to say
    When you called me baby
    Don't say goodnight
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh, whoa, all the way
    Can you take me high enough
    To fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over
    Yesterday's just a memory
    (Yesterday's just a memory and)
    I don't want to live without you anymore
    Can't you see I'm in misery
    And you know for sure
    I would live and die for you
    And I know just what to do when you call me baby
    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh, whoa, all the way
    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over
    Yesterday's just a memory
    I'm running
    I was running for the door
    The next thing I remember
    I was running back for more, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh, whoa, all the way (all the way, all the way, yeah)
    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Can you take me high enough
    Won't you fly me over (won't you fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    I wish people would just take a second to remember how intense the radio was in 91. I literally remember sitting there hearing High Enough, Lithium, Enter Sandman, and Even Flow in one sitting. The radio was on a total different level back then.

      +chabadoogi Today it is 100% different!!!!!!!! All radio station go 100% for ratings - PERIOD!!!!!!!! So to get higher ratings they will play a good guitar ballad, then a soft rock song - then a country ballad- so that EVERYBODY will wait their turn for a descent song!!!! They would rather have EVERYBODY listening for 30 minutes - than the entire world listening from 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! It is all about the NUMBERS - they don't give two shits about the music they are playing - RATINGS - RATINGS - RATINGS - RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      +chabadoogi If that was your experience in 91, you were lucky. Here in South Australia the radio was SHIT! Even the two stations (1 local, 1 national) that did sometimes play metal only did it occasionally, and most stations were the worst kind of commercial, wimpy, yuppy, pathetic pop and regurgitated soft-cock rock travesties that you could not imagine even in your worst nightmares. In '91 I was an angry young man!!! And most of it had to do with Adelaide radio.

      Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
      And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
      1. Believe that God sent His Son
      (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
      2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
       3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
      4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
      I'm Praying for you and you are loved!
      (Romans 10:9-13))

Ironically most of the songs I remember from commercials for rock ballad compilation CD's from decades ago. This song was one of those. Same with 'Headed For a Heartbreak' by Winger, 'When I See You Smile' by Bad English, etc I heard excerpts from the songs in a commercial a handful of times 30 years ago and they resonated with me so much that one day the memory came to me and I found them .😂😂😭😭

    Fricking wow. Graduated HS in 73, so this came years after big rock for me, but holy crap, this song blew me away. Today, heard it at Home Depot in faint background, went home and played on a high end sound system, cranked up in a large 24 x 26 ft room. Well, damn. Phenomenonal. I cant even squeek that high 😅😮

    I remember when this came out in 1990. Starting my senior year of high school. I like it just as much now as back then. Played the death out of my CD of this. This song really should have hit number one on the charts, it is that good. Strange to think how much time has gone by since then, seems like yesterday in a way.

    Shaw is highly underrated as a rock singer. His voice is still as good as it is here in the video.
