I Must Be High Lyrics
You always wanted more time,
To do what you always wanted to do
Now you got it
And I, I must be high,
To say goodbye
Bye bye bye
You never said you needed this
And you're pissed that you missed the very last kiss,
From my lips
And I, I must be high,
To say goodbye
Bye bye bye
And you never looked in my eyes,
Long enough to find any piece of mind
But now you got it
And I, I must be high,
To let you say goodbye
I must be high
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye
To do what you always wanted to do
Now you got it
To say goodbye
Bye bye bye
And you're pissed that you missed the very last kiss,
From my lips
To say goodbye
Bye bye bye
Long enough to find any piece of mind
But now you got it
To let you say goodbye
I must be high
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye

Like most of the songs on AM this tune is about breaking up. I always thought the song was about regret sfter the fact, but after listening to it with the break up of Uncle Tupelo in mind, I was struck by the songs anger. The regret about Uncle Tupelo's demise is still present but the lines,
"And you never looked in my eyes, Long enough to find any piece of mind But now you got it"
strike me as the songs centerpiece and Tweedy's first shot at Jay Farrar.
This is the best song ever. Wilco is a great band and everyone should listen to them. One day they will be so popular. On the east coast they already are but when they get popular everywhere remember I knew it! This is one of my favorite songs by them. I love it!
i agree, whole heartedly.
ummm, east coasters, dont be so eager to take credit for wilco. they are, and will always be, a chiago band.
Chicago is their own flipping state. If you gather a group of people together and ask them where they're from, it goes something like this: "Pennsylvania." "Rhode Island." "Georgia." "New Mexico." "Chicago." It's proven to be true... at least in my own experience. Lol, Chicago, your funny accents make me happy. I hope Chicago overthrows the US some day.
My boyfriend sang this song to me once... Just for the heck of it. lol. Wilco is neat. Jesus Christ for President.
yay!
An argentinian luuuves the Wilco. And this tune.
i love this song
i'm so high right now..
You must be high? You don't know yet Jeff Tweedy? You gotta smoke some of this shit then. Damn son...
