LYRICS

FINALLY HIGH

I’ve been going to therapy
I’ve been meditating every day in the woods
Saged every corner of this house 
God I can’t recall a time I ever felt so good

So don’t fuck me up, I’m floating
I’m finally high above it
I’m out of my mind and I love it
Can’t you see I’m levitating over all the hell you gave me in my life?
I’m finally high 

I did everything they recommended
Mind and body spirit cleanses
Every self-help book I read it
Now I’m not as co-dependent 
’Til you call me up again, I swear I’m gonna lose my head 

Don’t fuck me up, I’m floating
I’m finally high above it
I’m out of my mind and I love it
Can’t you see I’m levitating over all the hell you gave me in my life?
I’m finally high 

The hardest part is forgiving myself for wanting you in the first place
The hardest part is forgiving myself for trusting you in the first place
The hardest part is forgiving myself for loving you in the first place
The hardest part is forgiving myself

FUNERAL FOR MY PAST

I held a funeral for my past today
Laid it in the ground where it’s meant to stay
With the roots, the dirt, pain and the hurt
I held a funeral for my past today

I got down on my knees, dug up a mighty grave
Made room for all the darkness, the anger & the shame
So deep it never haunts me, gone forever and always
I held a funeral for my past today

Uh-huh, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah
Uh-huh, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah

While I’ve been cutting roses, never thought this day would come
Me and my shadow, we were living as one
Every day I tried to fight it, but my demons always won
Til I stopped fighting, til I let the light in

I could not help but tremble, I could not help but cry
There was something holy about it, just watching it die
Right there, as I stood, right before my eyes
Up from the ashes
Up from the ashes, my phoenix did rise

Uh-huh, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah
Uh-huh, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah, Hey hey yeah

So come gather round, what will you lay to rest? 
Whatever kills you slowly, don’t give it one more breath
Let it go, let it be, let it rest here in peace
Lay it down at the funeral for your past today

TORTURE

Being without you
Is being locked in a room
An eternal afternoon
set to a song sung out of tune
Over and over again

Why does it feel like torture?
Not to have your skin on mine
How I lived before you loved me
Now I’m dying all the time

All my pleasure choked by pain
Since I let you let you get away
Should’ve tied to you bed
When I had you in the flesh

Now I’m chained to the memory
How the music played loud
How my hair came down
How you kissed my mouth with a fire I can’t put out

Why does it feel like torture?
Not to have your skin on mine
How I lived before you loved me
Now I’m dying all the time

I’m only mad for you my love
I come alive for you my love
I’m only mad for you

Why does it feel like torture?
Not to have your skin on mine
How I lived before you loved me
Now I’m dying all the time

GET TO KNOW SOMEONE

You really get to know someone
when they’re falling out of love with you
Do they look you in the eye and say it,
or whisper it to someone new?

Point the finger, point the blame
Or hold on till it’s all okay
saying losing love is no one’s fault
Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t

When all infatuation’s gone
And you tell each other what you want
When all the playing games is done
You really get to know someone

You really get to know someone,
it’s all in the way they say goodbye
Do they curse your name and slam the door?
Or kiss you for just one last time

It’s all in the way they tell the story
Do they take the heat or take the glory?
Hey losing love is no one’s fault
Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t

When all infatuation’s gone
And you tell each other what you want
When all the playing games is done
You really get to know someone

So don’t make it harder than it has to be
Make it easy on me
You really get to know someone
when a little bit of time has passed

When you see each other out somewhere
It’s all in the way their eyes react
You turned around and smiled at me
Kinder than you had to be

You could’ve been a total stranger
But that’s not really in your nature
And though it was a flash of time
I’m glad I got to call you mine

I learned a lot from loving you
I learned a lot from losing you

When all infatuation’s gone
And you see each other moving on
When all the playing games is done
You really get to know someone

3 CROW

I don’t go to 3 Crow anymore
cause it reminds me of the night
you got so drunk you got into it with someone at the bar
And I was there to drive you home
and how your hair was such a mess from all the alcohol and sweat

Everything you said was such a blur
Still I understood enough to know
that it was meant to hurt

CHORUS
I was sober
that night we got pulled over
but I had tears in my eyes
cause I couldn’t see the lines anymore

I don’t go to your house anymore
as impressive as it is
It turned the shit
when you made it clear I wasn’t going home
Slept on your couch…I insisted
You grabbed my mouth and tried to kiss it
I gave you aspirin and I swallowed a few hard pills myself

… Such a blur
Still I understood enough to know
that it was meant to hurt

CHORUS
I was sober
that night we got pulled over
but I had tears in my eyes
cause I couldn’t see the lines anymore

But I know you crossed it
like the x’s on my hands
How you reeled me in
took to me to see my favorite band

Oh I know you crossed it
but you won’t cross it again
