High Strung

And I don't believe in pills
Even though my back still kills
Been that way since the day I crashed
Can't spot a van if you're looking back

I still get laid, some one-night stands
Ten years ago I'd be the fucking man
Still got abs, still hit the gym
Got new jeans and they're fitting slim
Still got friends, still going out
Whichever bar seems cool to post about
Fresh cut, three weeks at most

And I don't know if I believe that life's just like this
Sinking in the quicksand of the mistakes we make
"I did, but I ain't, fucked up," I keep on saying despite this
Scared all my next "I love you"s are gonna come out fake
Who am I these days anyway? Nothing if not

High strung today. Ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ohh oh

And I take sleeping pills
Every night 'cause I just can't chill
Head to pillow, time to crash
Staring at the ceiling, looking back
Love, where you at
Not in the reflection staring back
Been so long since I've seen her look
Watch the game, read a book

And I don't know if I believe that life's just like this
Sinking in the quicksand of the mistakes we make
"I did, but I ain't, fucked up," I keep on saying despite this
Scared all my next "I love you"s are gonna come out fake
Who am I these days anyway? Nothing if not

High strung today. Ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh, oooh ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh, oooh ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh, oooh ooh ooh
High strung today. Ooh ooh
High strung today 'cause we, yeah we
Yeah, we don't know what's up
