Lyrics:

Verse 1
        I'm not like them
        But I can pretend
        The sun is gone
        But I have a light
        The day is done
        But I'm having fun
        I think I'm dumb
        or maybe just 

Chorus 1        
        happy
        Think I'm just happy
        
Verse 2        
        my heart is broke
        But I have some glue
        help me inhale
        And mend it with you
        We'll float around
        And hang out on clouds
        Then we'll come down
        And have a 
        
Chorus 2
        hangover... have a hangover

Bridge        
        Skin the sun
        Fall asleep
        Wish away
        The soul is cheap
        Lesson learned
        Wish me luck
        Soothe the burn
        Wake me up

Verse 3 (same as verse 1)
        I'm not like them
        But I can pretend
        The sun is gone
        But I have a light
        The day is done
        But I'm having fun
Outro
        I think I'm dumb
