Hard time wake up this morning
Closed the blinds so I can see
First light came without a warning
And the sunrise scares the daylights outta me
Down seven tylenols for breakfast
Chased it down with last nights cloudy memory
Empty bottle preached the gospel
Another shot ain’t coming close to saving me
Close to saving me
You can only get so high
Then you got a come down
Twisted in the clouds just like a kite
Fighting to stay up in the sky
Flying in the free fall
Before ya know it it's the last call
I'll take one more drink and two packs of lies
Drowning with the demons in desguise
You can only get so high
You can only get so high
Life was one long after party
My welcome was too long overstayed
When good times sing the same old story
They leave out how the bills is getting paid
You keep yourself 10 second chances
So I ain’t quitting I’m just splitting for awhile
Ending like some many other bad romances
One more victory lap before you say goodbye
You can only get so high
Then you got a come down
Twisted in the clouds just like a kite
Fighting to stay up in the sky
Flying in the free fall
Before ya know it it's the last call
I'll take one more drink and two packs of lies
Drowning with the demons in desguise
You can only get so high
You can only get so high
Endless limitation that I keep on getting by
I guess I start by sitting down with me, myself and I
Guess it's best to leave my desperation to decide
You can only get so high
Then you got a come down
Twisted in the clouds just like a kite
Fighting to stay up in the sky
Flying in the free fall
Before ya know it it's the last call
I'll take one more drink and two packs of lies
You can only get so high
Till you bottlom out and breakdown
You can only hurt so many times
Before the truth falls from the lies
Dyin' in a free fall
Just before you hit the last one
You're only gettin' one more chance and one last goodbye
It took a lifetime to realize
You can only get so high
You can only get so high
Then you got a come down
Then you got a come down
Then you got a come down
