You Got Too High

You got too high started saying shit you didn't mean to say
You hate the drugs, but that's the only way you feel okay

While I'm wasted in your bedroom
Crying about how we're growing up soon

Spend some time at your favorite bar in town
Still won't serve me, remembering my underage frown

From all the nights I wept in the booth
Losing my pride and shooting the shit with you

"Remember me when you leave," you used to cry that in my ear
"You're the closest thing to home I'll keep with me next year"

And I'm wishing that was true, but I leave tomorrow and I still don't recognize you

Through the summer we're trying it out
I'm sneaking through the window of your mother's house

I don't know where this is going, but I like it
I like you a lot

Don't you think when we are screaming our songs in the car all night
This feeling lasts forever until we start to fight

It's too much now, I can't deny
I'm running out the door while you scream, "Stay the night!"

"Remember me when you leave," you used to cry that in my ear
"You're the closest thing to home I'll keep with me next year"

And I'm wishing that was true, but I leave tomorrow and
I still don't recognize...

You know I'm trying to be like the girl you once perceived
This indestructible persona I put up
I'm starting to fall into your arms

Back again the cycle charms its way into my life
But I leave next fall and I'm trying to remember it all when you say

"Don't forget me when you leave" you're crying in my ear
"Closest thing to home" yeah, it's flooding me with fear

'Cause I know it isn't true
Kissing you goodbye
I still don't recognize you
