Head High Lyrics

Inside my mind

I'm riding on a wave

And I can see LA in my peripherals

The weather's good this time of year

The water's awful clear

If only it were truly so and not a dream of mine

I hit the ceiling with my head high

It's like I didn't even see

I cracked my skull and watched it bleed

The medic says I gotta let go

So they can operate on me

Another clumsy love affair with a daydream

"Take a breath", she said

"You're here right now, it's fine"

Her smile makes me feel warm inside

There's lightning in her eyes

Times are strange indeed

Dreams - they swallow me

And when they let me go

It's not in a gentle way

I hit the ceiling with my head high

It's like I didn't even see

I cracked my skull and watched it bleed

The medic says I gotta let go

So they can operate on me

Another clumsy love affair with a daydream

Head high on the low

Movin' slow-mo

I can't let go of this, no no

I'm better off this way

When I can make my own reality

In spite of what's in front of me

I don't know, man

It's the life that I've since warmed up to

Building worlds in my mind 'cause I like to

Imagination never left me, can't you see?

So take your sirens into hiding

'Cause I'm not gonna change

I hit the ceiling with my head high

It's like I didn't even see

I cracked my skull and watched it bleed

The medic says I gotta let go

So they can operate on me

Another clumsy love affair with a daydream
