High in the Morning

lyrics

I used to be able
to get high in the morning.
All these things have changed
but I don’t feel that different.

You’re getting tired of me
and my doomsday anxiety.
It’s getting old, this feeling
that I’m losing my sanity.

I know this night’s not the end,
but maybe someday soon it should be.
For now, let’s just act happy.
So we can feel loved and a little less lonely.

It’s been the better part of 10 years and
I still don’t know where its going.
So how can you act so surprised,
like you never saw it coming?

Well I’ve never been good
at knowing what I want,
but I could perform exegesis
on why everything you want’s so wrong.

“You’re just like me” she said
“and someday soon you’ll realize
you wasted all your time and all you did
was prove them right”

I know this night’s not the end,
but maybe someday soon it should be.
For now, let’s just act happy.
So we can feel loved and a little less lonely.

It’s been the better part of 10 years and
I still don’t know where it’s going.
So how can you act so surprised,
like you never saw it coming?
