The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen, I know it’s been hard
You know it’s no different for me
We’re less than a zero-sum game now
And baby, we both know that’s not how it’s supposed to be
The writing’s on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I go too high, and you go too cold
And we both fall apart
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
The writing’s on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
The writing’s on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Even if it’s the last thing we do together
Even if it’s the last thing we do together
