This Is How (We Want You To Get High)

So you raise another glass

Looking for a different space

I was leaning on the grass

Dreaming of a sunnier day

Oh it never came

How could it have, baby

Where the present meets the past

It's hard to be more than we've seen

Your daddy was a drinker

Just kept drinking 'til the dopes he was thinking sounded true

Your mama was a thinker

She just wasn't thinking on the day that she looked at him and said

I do

'Cause I will always, I will always

I will always, I will always

Try to get my life together, ah

I guess we always, guess we always knew

That it would be stormy weather

This is how we want you to get high

The way that we showed you

The way that we told you was decent

This is how we want you to get high

This is how we want you to get by

My daddy was a toker

Just kept smoking 'till the jokes he could tell got very blue

My mom was a joker

If she was a hippy then I guess she was tripping on a high love you

'Cause I will always, I will always

I will always, I will always

Try to get my life together, ah

I guess we always, guess we always knew

That it would be stormy weather

This is how we want you to get high

The way that we showed you

The way that we told you was decent

This is how we want you to get high

This is how we want you to get by on your sorry lives

Take another, take another

I never picked a fight in my life

Or raised a hand to my wife

Or saw my children as things to bully

I never dropped a pill in a drink

I know how low you can sink

My heart, my heart is better than that

I never picked a fight in my life

Or raised a hand to my wife

Or saw my children as things to bully

I never dropped a pill in a drink

I know how low you can sink

My heart, my heart is better than that

Looking for a different space

Dreaming of a sunnier day

Oh, it never came

How could it have, baby

Where the present meets the past

It's hard to be more than we've seen

It's hard to be more than we've seen
