lyrics

"Should Have Been High"

Should have known a little better than this
then to fall into the trap
Should have been a little more careful than this
didn’t know where I was at

Should have been braver when I was afraid
should have kept all of those plans that I made
but I don’t remember
but i don't

It’s so easy to ask yourself
where did I go wrong?

Could have been a little more content
before falling on myself
Sweet little ivy with a coconut fuzz
comes to follow on the trip

take everything I’ve ever learned from a book
put it in the blender and wait for the smoothie to fill

someday when you’re older
you’ll find yourself alone
the callous winds of age
they don’t forget

what you've done
when you were younger
naive and full of pith
innocent mistakes
show up on photographs
no don’t hurry
to grow up
it’s no worry
take your time

should have been listening to everyone
but my head was in the sand
should have been keeping up with all the fun
but I had to take command

should have been nicer to the friends I've hurt
should have been honest about the stuff I took
should have never given anyone a reason to ask "why?"

should have been high
should have been low
Should have known better than this
