They only shine the light on notoriety
So sometimes I forget what’s inside of me
And when I lose my mind and do it quietly, oh, oh
And maybe it’s just my anxiety
Or my lack of overall sobriety
But why don’t you come over and get high with me? Oh, oh
I know you’re getting tired of this
And I know you never asked for it
But I’m in too deep and I need a way out
You’re the only way out
So please just say you’re coming over right now, come over right now
Take you back to my hometown
Make my parents proud
‘Cause I’m in too deep and I need a way out
You’re the only way out
You were always more than a friend to me
Baby pull me closer than your enemies
And if you gotta lie do it beside of me, oh, oh
You’re the only one that sees me honestly
Love don’t last forever so promise me
That you’ll come on over and get high with me, oh, oh
I know you’re getting tired of this
And I know you never asked for it
But I’m in too deep and I need a way out
You’re the only way out
So please just say you’re coming over right now, come over right now
Take you back to my hometown
Make my parents proud
‘Cause I’m in too deep and I need a way out
You’re the only way out (You’re the only way out, yeah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
