I was higher than a biplane

Stumbled up the driveway

With a handshake and a slow wave

Now I'm crashed out on the couch

Wondering if you feel the same

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need

C G C G

For remembering pins and to take out the bins

C G C G

And that one particular film that that actor was in

C G C G

I see your face superimposed over everything

It ain't right

(It ain't right)

[Chorus]

'Cause I was fine on my own

Tolling steady like a dial tone

When I lie in bed catching death

(Oh, Ohhhhh)

Trying to wash it all away

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I need for delivering lies and suppressing the sighs

It's taking up all of my time just to keep it in line

It ain't right
