If Love Is the Drug, Then I Want to O.D. Lyrics

I break it down again for love
I sing the songs you've been dreaming of
And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
Up all night while you're keeping me waiting

You live your life like it's just begun
You saw and fear it, now it's on the run
And maybe love's no good for the taking
Waiting in vain while you keeping me waiting

You're so, high
You're so, high
You're so, high
Why can't you fly?

You live your life like it's just begun
You say your threats and now it's on the run
And maybe love's no good for the taking
Waiting in vain while you keeping me waiting

I break it down again for love
I sing these words you've been dreaming of
And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
Waiting man while you're keeping me waiting

You're so, high
You're so, high
You're so, high
Why can't you fly?
