Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smoke a J for breakfast
Only thing that keeps me sane
Feeling kinda reckless
Don't you know I'm not okay?
I haven't found anything strong enough
Days and nights are borderlines without your love
[Verse 2]
Cruisin' at a hundred
It doesn't even feel that fast
Adrenaline is pumping
Kinda hoping that I crash into the water
I would rather drown
[Verse 3]
'Cause anything is better than coming, coming down
[Verse 4]
I can't get high, I can't get high, I can't get high
It fucking hurts, these drugs don't work, I don't know why
Excuse me if I overdose
It happens every time you go
Hard as I try
I can't get high, high, high, high
[Verse 5]
Have a tab for dinner
It doesn't really work too well
Feeling like a sinner
Goddamn, it hurts like hell
I must be past the point of no return
All this medication only makes it worse
[Verse 6]
If you've got a remedy then tell me now
'Cause anything is better than coming, coming down
[Verse 7]
I can't get high, I can't get high, I can't get high
It fucking hurts, these drugs don't work, I don't know why
Excuse me if I overdose
It happens every time you go
Hard as I try
I can't get high, high, high, high
[Verse 8]
I can't get high, I can't get high, I can't get high, I can't
I can't get high, I can't get high, I can't get high
'Cause you're the only thing that makes me feel alive
[Verse 9]
I can't get high, I can't get high, I can't get high
It fucking hurts, these drugs don't work, I don't know why
Excuse me if I overdose
It happens every time you go
Hard as I try
I can't get high, high, high, high
