lyrics

When I’m high I just wanna be sober
When I’m sober I just wanna get stoned
So I can ignore the voices,
maybe make better choices.
‘Cause the party’s here and I’m alone
‘Cause the party’s here and I’m alone
I’d rather be at home.

Hiding from the light
Hiding from the light

Hiding from the light
Sleeping in some parking lot when
I’m too drunk to drive
Closing bloodshot eyes
Drifting off to silent rumination
Traffic lights’ illumination
I’m hiding from the light

When I’m in I just wanna go outside and
When I’m out I just wanna hide my eyes
So I can block out the sunlight
Maybe focus on my hindsight
‘Cause the party’s gone and I’m alone
The party’s gone and I’m alone
Sober up

Standing in the light
Woke up in your parking lot when
I was too drunk to drive
Open bleary eyes
Staring up at spinning constellations
Front porch light illumination

Now I’m dancing in the light
Woke up in my bedroom somehow
I made it alive
Closing bloodshot eyes
Misplaced wallet, keys, and expectations
Morning light, illumination
