This Is How (We Want You to Get High)

So you raise another glass

Looking for a different space

I was leaning on the grass

Dreaming of a sunnier day

Ooh that never came

How could it have, baby?

Where the present meets the past

It's hard to be more than we've seen

Your daddy was a drinker

Just kept drinking

Till the shit he was thinking

Sounded true

Your mama was a thinker

She just wasn't thinking

Of the day that you looked at her

And said "I do"

'Cause I will always, I will always

I will always, I will always

Try to get my shit together

I guess we always, I guess we always knew

That it would be stormy weather

This is how we want you to get high

The way that we show ya

The way that we told ya was decent

This is how we want you to get high

This is how we want you to get by

My daddy was a toker

He just kept smoking

Till the jokes he could tell

Got very blue

My mama was a joker

If she was a hippy

Then I guess she was tripping

On a high love you

'Cause I will always, I will always

I will always, I will always

Try to get my shit together

I guess we always, I guess we always

Knew that it would be stormy weather

This is how we want you to get high

The way that we show ya

The way that we told ya was decent

This is how we want you to get high

This is how we want you to get by

Beyond your sorry lives

Take another, take another

I never picked a fight in my life

Or raised a hand to my wife

Or saw my children as things to bully

I never dropped a pill in a drink

I know how low you can sink

My heart, my heart is better than that

I never picked a fight in my life

Or raised a hand to my wife

Or saw my children as things to bully

I never dropped a pill in a drink

I know how low you can sink

My heart, my heart is better than that

Looking for a different space

Dreaming of a sunnier day

Ooh that never came

How could it have, baby?

Where the present meets the past

It's hard to be more than we've seen

It's hard to be more than we've seen
