I picked up on all your bad habits

Through the course of the summer

These cigarettes still remind me of you

All the stupid shit that we would do

To distract ourselves from the fact

We're both dying

One faster than the other

Place your bets

On all that you remember or regret

And it's often out of sight it seems


[Bridge]

When you cut the lows

Don't cut the highs

When you're blinded by

The smoke in your eyes


[Chorus]

That's alright, that's okay

When all your senseless innocence

Was stripped away

When you bought a fleeting glimpse at it

Heard you kicked a pill habit

At the local hospital

The one that reminds me of you

When you got high and shaved your head

Always enigmatic

No one could ever tell

That you were telling the truth


[Chorus]

That's alright, that's okay

When all your senseless innocence

Was stripped away

When you bought a fleeting glimpse at it

Through every lesson in sobriety

Each test i failed miserably

When all that defined me was you

Identity was lost on me

In solemn synchronicities

In cycles I could never break through


[Bridge]

When you cut the lows

You cut the highs

And you're blinded by

The smoke in your eyes


[Chorus]

So that's alright, that's okay (cut the lows, don't cut the highs)

When all your senseless innocence

Was stripped away (cut the lows, don't cut the highs)

When you bought a fleeting glimpse at it
