From the recording Open
Lyrics
EVEN WHEN I”M HIGH
I leave another message on your cell
Just called to say hello hope you’re doing well
I try to hide it but I’m sure you can tell
I’m not over you
Cause I’ve done everything I know
And Baby I still I still love you so
Damn I never thought I’d be that sorry sap
Who just couldn’t let go
I stay out with my friends
Nights of decadence and sin
When the party ends I’m still alone
I take all these pills with wine
You’d think ecstasy’d be mine
But even when I’m high I feel low
I take a long walk through Griffith Park
Drive around Hollywood until it gets dark
I listen to the Counting Crows sing all about my broken heart
What am I gonna do
Then I get a call from my man John
Says he can get us in where the girls are paid to turn you on
I don’t want to go but I say I will
Cause I’m already gone
I stay out with my friends
Nights of decadence and sin
When the party ends I’m still alone
I take all these pills with wine
You’d think ecstasy’d be mine
But even when I’m high I feel low
I stay out with my friends
Nights of decadence and sin
When the party ends I’m still alone
I take all these pills with wine
You’d think ecstasy’d be mine
But even when I’m high I feel low
