0:00I took a pill in Ibiza
0:02To show Avicii I was cool
0:05And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older
0:07But fuck it, it was something to do
0:09I'm living out in L.A.
0:12I drive a sports car just to prove
0:14I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
0:16And I spend it on girls and shoes
0:19But you don't wanna be high like me
0:21Never really knowing why like me
0:23You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
0:28You don't wanna ride the bus like this
0:30Never knowing who to trust like this
0:32You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
0:36Stuck up on that stage singing
0:38All I know are sad songs, sad songs
0:47Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
0:55♪
1:34I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
1:39I get along with old timers
1:40'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
1:43And I can't keep a girl, no
1:46'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
1:48I cut 'em all loose, and work's my excuse
1:51But the truth is I can't open up
1:52But you don't wanna be high like me
1:54Never really knowing why like me
1:57You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
2:02You don't wanna ride the bus like this
2:04Never knowing who to trust like this
2:06You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
2:09Stuck up on that stage singing
2:12All I know are sad songs, sad songs
2:21Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs (hey)
2:32♪
2:58I took a plane to my hometown
3:00I brought my pride and my guitar
3:01All my friends are all gone, but there's manicured lawns
3:03And the people still think I'm a star
3:04I walked around downtown
3:05I met some fans on Lafayette
3:06They said, "Tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient"
3:07So I looked 'em in the eye and said
3:08You don't wanna be high like me
3:08Never really knowing why like me
3:09You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
3:10You don't wanna ride the bus like this
3:10Never knowing who to trust like this
3:11You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
3:12Stuck up on that stage singing
3:12All that I know are sad songs, sad songs
3:13Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs
3:13♪
