about
‘Get High’ presents as a party song, but it’s also a reflection on how best to use the limited time we have to live. It’s about lamenting the inability to tell someone how you feel about them when you’re young and unsure of yourself, and how it feels to watch as that person goes on to half-heartedly pursue the usual life and status milestones that are laid out for the middle class (marriage, the right job, etc.).
lyrics
I just want to get high with you.
Just like we used to do.
I just want to get high with you,
And sleep in the afternoon.
Mary, Mary, so contrary,
You were sad when you got married.
I was there, I saw.
We should be back singing Weezer.
Teenage wasted unbelievers.
Where'd it all go wrong?
All I know is I just want to get high with you.
Just like we used to do.
I just want to get high with you,
And sleep in the afternoon.
After, at your swank reception,
Bourbon stoking my rejection.
Truth of it too real.
I leave early.
By my car,
You tackle me under the stars.
You ask me what I feel.
What's this feeling?
What's this feeling I have?
What's this feeling?
What's this feeling I have?
"I just want to get high with you.
Just like we used to do.
I just want to get high with you,
And sleep in the afternoon."
Mary, Mary, one year later,
Coming out my elevator,
Find you at my door.
What's this feeling?
What's this feeling I have?
What's this feeling?
What's this feeling you have?
"I just want to get high with you.
Just like we used to do.
I just want to get high with you,
And sleep in the afternoon.”
I just want to get high with you.
I just want to get high with you.
I just want to get high with you.
