Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Listen, I know it's been hard

You know it's no different for me

We're less than a zero-sum game now

And baby, we both know that's not how it's supposed to be

[PreChorus]

The writing's on the wall

It seems like forever since we had a good day

The writing's on the wall

[Chorus]

But I just wanna get you high tonight

I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes

Some pleasure in your eyes

[Verse 2]

I go too hot, and you go too cold

And we both fall apart

Then you bring your mind to rest against mine

But the mind has no say in affairs of the heart

[PreChorus]

The writing's on the wall

It seems like forever since we had a good day

The writing's on the wall

[Chorus]

But I just wanna get you high tonight

I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes

Some pleasure in your eyes

[Instrumental]

Then you bring your mind to rest against mine

But the mind has no say in affairs of the heart

[PreChorus]

The writing's on the wall

It seems like forever since we had a good day

The writing's on the wall

[Chorus]

But I just wanna get you high tonight

I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes

Some pleasure in your eyes

[Outro]

Just wanna get you high, high, high

Just wanna get you high

I just wanna get you high

Even if it's the last thing that we do together

Even if it's the last thing that we do together
