I Can Get High Lyrics

days
like this won't seem to break
clouds won't seem to shake
and all i am is lonely
everywhere i look is a mannequin
the plastic people closing in
i just want you to hold me
to hold me
i can get high, all by myself
i don't need you to bring me down
i can get high, all by myself
i don't need anybody now
lord, i can't seem to see
it's like there's just walls in front of me
and i'm not feeling anything
oh no, lord, i can't tell what's real anymore
someone unlock the door
cause i cannot just breathe in here
i can't breathe in here
cold, is pushing through my skin
and i can't sleep again
staring at the ceiling
I'm on sheets like broken glass
hours won't seem to pass
it's darkness that i'm so deep in
so deep in
I can get high, all by myself
I don't need you to bring me down
I can get high all by myself
I don't need anybody now
lord, i can't seem to see, it's like there's just walls in front of me
and i am not feeling anything
oh no, lord i can't tell what's real anymore
someone unlock the door
cause man i just cannot breathe in here
i can't breathe in here
but i can get high all by myself
i can get high all by myself
by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, just kidding himself he doesnt need anyone anymore, and when it all goes bad he doesn't know what to do.
