Lyrics

All I left is a bottle cap
To remind me where we're goin'
How was I to know they spiked the punch
When you told me to stay away from that phone?
But that ain't no reason for you to greet me
And that ain't no reason for you to leave me
All I got left is a lover's map
But don't you read it, it'll guide you wrong
It was so unfair, you left me there
I got drunk, so I was gone
But that ain't no reason for you to greet me
And that ain't no reason for you to leave me
But that ain't no reason for you to greet me
And that ain't no reason for you to leave me
Gotta take a trip, gotta take a trip, too much confusion
Don't wanna take a trip, don't wanna take a trip 'cause I see illusion
Gotta get higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
