Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Life's too short to even care at all, whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me, ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, whoa-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away to some fortune that
I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup
To come down, come down
[Verse 2]
Life's too short to even care at all, whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh
I'm coming up now, coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart, whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun, whoa-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away, to some fortune that
I, I should have found by now
So I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
[Bridge]
Life's too short to even care at all, whoa-oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away, to some fortune that
I, I should have found by now
So I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
[Outro]
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa-oh
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
