You Get High

You were spinnin' yarn and I was sweet as sixteen

And you drove your mothers car to pick me up at 8:15

But I was always running late

And this was just like any other day

When you caught my eye, you were just 23

But you left me cold and crying for the girl of your teenage dreams

All is fair in love and war

My broken heart possessed your love no more

You get high

While everyone around you is getting low

You get high

While everyone around you is getting low

I was walking empty streets in the town where we were made

With my heart still incomplete

And I knew you felt the same

I was still just running scared

Every door I opened led to nowhere

You get high

While everyone around you is getting low

You get high

While everyone around you is getting low

Then Stevens street was ours but you kept me far away

When I could not entertain you you would show your other face

Suffering was all you did when my the morning light came streaming in

You get high

While everyone around you is getting low

You get high

While everyone around you is getting low

Everyone around you is getting low

Everyone around you is getting low

Everyone around you is getting low

Getting low
