dopamine

so we're sat here now
and you're telling me about
when you were a kid
all the things that you did
so i figured you out
you take one more sip
now it's running down your lip
you won't wipe it away
keep it there just incase
you might let something slip

you don't want something real
it's that high that you want
from the chase so you feel
like you've worked for it
and i thought
that's not love it's a dopamine hit

you told me you wished you were older
i said yea me too
but you don't say these things when you're sober
it's too much for you
you can say it over and over
doesn't make it true
you told me that i didn't love you
and i said that i do do do do

we'll take one last toke
but we're still just blowing smoke
wish it would fizzle away
stamp it out in the tray
but it's stuck in your throat
you should spit it out
if you can't swallow it now
wanna call it a day
said you can't feel the same
but your eyes let you down

you don't want something safe
it's the thrill of not knowing
if you can escape
like you'd die for this
and i thought
that's not love... that's a chemical trip

you told me you wished you were older
i said yea me too
you don't say these things when you're sober
it's too much for you
you can say it over and over
doesn't make it true
you told me that i didn't love ya
i said that i do do do do

you don't want something real
you want anything that makes it easy to feel
like you're still in the fight
you been in your whole life
Just to validate it

you told me you wished you were older
i said yea me too
you don't say these things when you're sober
it's too much for you
you can say it over and over
doesn't make it true
you told me that i didn't love ya
i said that i do do do do

you told me you wish you were older and i said
yea me too
you told me that i couldn't love you
and i said
that's not true
