DIFFERENT DRUGS

Every time I go back home

Something's wrong

There's something missing

You're spinning away from me

I don't bitch no I don't moan

But I can't try to fight this anymore

Our common ground has shifted

You're standing in the doorway

With a look I used to know

With all the best intentions

Somehow our cover's blown

We're trapped inside this room

With no window or a view

And now you're backing away from me

Well, what can I do?

 

And if there was a pill

We could take to find each other

Would you drop with me?

Would you follow me down?

And if there was a leaf

We could smoke to meet each other

Would you blaze with me?

Would you chase with me?

It started as a joyride

Just a way to let off steam

But now we're running off the road

Cause you're asleep at the wheel

Which way do you choose?

Cause right now I choose you

Do you still think of me fondly?

Do you still think of me?

 

I'm trying to broach the distance

That's growing in our lives

From the night until the morning

Like we're on different drugs

Did I say too much?

Did I take too much?

The temptation to vacate seduces us

I'm trying beat the static

That's living in our hearts

Like white noise that's in the distance

That will only drown us out

Did I say too much?

Did I take too much?

The temptation to vacate seduces us

 

It's like we're on different drugs
