about

As much as I hope you like this single, I'm mostly proud of the crazy one-shot video I made to go along with it. Check that out below and thanks for listening!

lyrics

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.
I 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 20/20, perfect for seeing ghosts.

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.

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.

High strung ‘cause we, yeah we don’t know what’s up.
