The Tantrums - Recovery lyrics
[Verse 1] Somebody asked me what I learned since leaving high school I told 'em not to give a f** because nothing is all cool And then I ruined some dreams and then I ruined other lives When I told these people nothing's greener on the other side I held my tongue as my girl said she was with someone else And then I held my fist back before I could cause some living hell So now I wake up every night with nightmares in my head And all the ghosts the invade me make me wish that I was dead Hello there darkness, as the song keeps playing to the end I guess that really the darkness was still truly my only friend I told a girl that the reason I still stay up at night Is because I question everything and if I did it all right So when the person asked me what I learned since leaving high school I told 'em that I did my best to try to go and stay cool I feel sorry for everybody who has to handle me Because I know that no one could ever bring me in sanity [Verse 2] I guess I'm just mad because I never got a f**ing call Even though I texted, and messaged, and posted on her own wall I gave her chocolates but she's prolly with some other guy Well does it really surprise me? no? Well I don't wonder why I got a chick with a face who looks like Sasha Grey I wanna choke her and f** her 'till she's 50 shades of grey So let me cast the first stone because I never sin Feeling like a DJ all I ever do is go and win Maybe someday I'll write a verse that you'll be proud of And maybe even then I can move on and not need your love So here I am again watching Ellie who's my biggest idol And if this keeps up again then I'll repeat the cycle Tell your mamma I'm sorry I made her daughter cry But I did everything that I can, she didn't even try My life is just a battle, and I'm just afraid to lose Well I am just a human, I just do what I wanna do [Verse 3: Negrostotle] Watch out, the Stotle's in here Came a long way, and I got a way to move, groove Sit back, wit the sun high Runnin' man stance, hit the pool that needs to be pured Utterin' stresses you mutter, voice of the vagabonds, no route to turn Got burned many times now, turnt down the flame I'm hoppin' the scorcher, life is a b**h; I want to divorce her But maybe I see her in negative light, she is a diva, a princess in fact I live with the light and I'll keep it like that Demons, the warlords, been wanted to see me slip, they been kickin' the rocks I'm rockin' my socks, watching Ed, Edd, n' Eddy Level my head with absurdity, peripheral sight, just the gra** and the moon Amazin' how far one man can go, palms wit' epistles, alludin' to good times Smile, just chill, listen to good rhymes Green tea, please, I need to calm down Gradual healing, this what it's about Waving deuce, live long and prosper Stand firm, no fear from your posture And don't forget... Keep on owning those monsters, winnin' rewards like an oscar!
