lyrics

He likes to borrow time from people takin' care of him
round the clock I waited for a change
We would ride way up the coast and go up and down again
that's how we were
so high and so low

I still smell his smoke in my hair,
sometimes I think it'll always be there
he left his mark, that's for sure
He tells me that he knows me, but he doesn't know himself
I know he's never gonna wanna even change

ooh ooh, stop pushing me away
ooh ooh, the light has changed
we would ride way up the coast and go up and down again
we would ride way up the coast and go up and down again

He likes to borrow money from people takin' care of him
and make promises to work real hard
then he runs right under a bus, his body and all his goddamn stuff
that's when he'll want to talk to me

ooh ooh, stop pushing me away
ooh ooh, the light has changed
we would ride way up the coast and go up and down again
we would ride way up the coast and go up and down again

Him I can't say no to, so I have to turn away
he told me I'm a fighter but I'm fighting myself today
we would ride way up the coast and go up and down again
that's how we were
so high and so low
that's how we were
so high and so low
that's how we were
so high and so low
