"Much Higher" by Kacy Hill is a song about a past love. The protagonist is still troubled by how much she loved this person and how they left a deep impression on her life. She dreams of singing to this person and walking home together, but in reality, she is crying alone in Phoenix. She feels like she needs to get over this person and move on with her life, but she can't help but ruminate on her past love and their memories together. The chorus suggests that the protagonist yearns for forgiveness from the person she loved, but also from herself. She wonders if forgiveness is a waiting room, a place where she can eventually forgive herself and move on from her past. She hopes that with time and age, she will learn to get closer to people and forgive herself for the way she loved in the past. The bridge is a moment of gratitude. The protagonist realizes that nothing matters as much as the people she loves and who love her back. She asks if she tells this person enough how much they mean to her, and she hopes that they feel appreciated. Overall, "Much Higher" is a reflective and emotional song about the complexities of love and forgiveness.
