High​-​strung

from New Year, Same Life by John Paul Sharp

/

lyrics

Some people like to think that they try,
But in the end, their time was misspent, oh yeah.

But not like you and I,
We like to do it all night.
And we don't worry if we get no sleep, no, no, no!
Because we might be high-strung, but we're never outrun when we're under the gun!

It's never easy when we're doing our thing
And after all we been through, all of our pain
Oh, just remember when our bodies are gone,
We'll be remembered for the things we have done.

Let's take it all the way.
Jump off a cliff, take a dive, it'll be okay!
Forget the haters, because they wish they were you.
When someone hates it, then you know someone loves it too!

And that's the reason why we're doin' our thing,
'Cause after all we been through, all of our pain,
Oh, just remember, when our bodies are gone,
We'll be remembered, we'll be remembered for the things we have done!
