High Life - Lyrics by Counting Crows


Lyrics
Such a life
Such a life
Such a life
[? ]
All my friends got flowers in their eyes
But I got none this season
All of last year's blooms have gone and died
Time doesn't give a reason
Hey maybe you ask yourself sometimes what you need to be forgiven
Every thing that you've ever done wrong is the reason that I'm driven
Straight to tears
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I get me ends and my beginings mixed up too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
[speaking] it's just like answers
That come in small packages
With gold on them
Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in
The disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change
Into the worst kind of people
So what kind of apologies? No apologies
This apology doesn't describe
The way it feels to feel for you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with you
I just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay for a little while
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on
Cause there's a night life just falling down on me
I just feel like a change
But if the southern summer sea of flowers
Won't bloom without the rain
But oh this desert life, this high life
Here at the dying of the day
I wasn't made for the scene, baby
But I was made in this scene, baby
It's just my way
I don't wanna go home alone
I wanna come on home to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver I can use
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
[speaking] isn't that just like disappearing into the sum of yourself
And the person you are disappearing into
It's like one plus one equals nothing at all
One plus two equals nothing at all
One plus me equals nothing at all
One plus you equals one plus you equals you and you and you and you and
Nothing at all
Nothing at all [repeated]
