Lyrics
Empty hearts, tired eyes
Emptiness in emotions, exhaustion in appearance
Are still mesmerized
Despite fatigue, still captivated or enchanted
By a simple life, out of touch
Drawn to a simpler life but disconnected from it
But always within reach
That simplicity is always accessible
Smokey lungs, slurring speech
Damage caused to the lungs from smoking, speech affected by intoxication
In the fog of a past daydream,
Lost in a haze of reminiscing about the past
We've been living backwards
Living life in reverse, possibly repeating past mistakes
On some borrowed time
Existing on borrowed or uncertain time
But when the sun is hanging high
A longing for social interaction or companionship during daytime
I get thirsty for my friends day drinking
The desire for socializing through day drinking with friends
All weekend,
Extended period of socializing throughout the weekend
Daydreaming, barely sleeping
Engaged in dreams while awake, lack of sufficient sleep
Can you walk, can you speak?
Concern about someone's ability to function normally
Let's find a new place to be,
Searching for a new environment or situation
What neon sign will be your guiding light?
Seeking guidance or direction in life
And if sleeping with strangers
Engaging in potentially risky behavior with strangers
Is only questionable behavior,
Questioning the acceptability of certain actions
Well if it gets you out of your head,
Escaping one's thoughts or mental state through actions
Maybe that's all right
Suggesting that escaping the mind might be acceptable under some circumstances
But when the sun is hanging high
Repeated longing for daytime socialization and drinking
I get thirsty for my friends day drinking
Continued desire for social interaction during the day
All weekend,
Extended period of socializing during weekends
Daydreaming, barely sleeping
Engagement in dreams while awake, lack of sufficient sleep
With a thousand yard stare,
Expression of extreme exhaustion or fatigue
You're looking worse for wear,
Appearance of extreme tiredness or distress
Nothing's on your mind
Mind is blank or preoccupied with nothing in particular
But day drinking, barely breathing
Being consumed by day drinking, struggling to breathe
And I'll tell you when I think I've had enough,
Willingness to recognize personal limits
And I'll tell you when I think I'm losing touch,
Awareness of losing touch with reality or oneself
And I'll tell you when I think I've had enough,
Repeated recognition of personal limits
And I'll tell you when I think I'm cracking up
Suspecting a potential mental breakdown or losing grip on reality
But when the sun is hanging high
Continued longing for daytime socialization and drinking
I get thirsty for my friends day drinking
Desire for social interaction during the day
All weekend,
Extended period of socializing during weekends
Daydreaming, barely sleeping
Engagement in dreams while awake, lack of sufficient sleep
With a thousand yard stare,
Expression of extreme exhaustion or fatigue
You're looking worse for wear,
Appearance of extreme tiredness or distress
Nothing's on your mind
Mind is blank or preoccupied with nothing in particular
But day drinking, barely breathing
Being consumed by day drinking, struggling to breathe
Yeah, the thirst is on my mind
Continuous preoccupation with the desire for daytime socialization and drinking
And I'm thirsty all the time
Perpetual longing for social interaction and drinking
