Tove Lo – Habits
Tove Lo – Habits Lyrics:
I eat my dinner in my bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people getting it on
It doesn’t make me nervous
If anything I’m restless
Yeah I’ve been around and I’ve seen it all
I get home, I got the munchies
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Tasted kind of lonely
You’re gone and I got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I’m missing you
Pick up daddy’s at the playground
How I spend my day time
Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive
I make it fast and greasy
I know my way too easy
You’re gone and i got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Spend my days locked in a haze, tryin to forget you babe
Got to stay high all my life to forget I’m missing you
Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain’t got no end
Can’t go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
Standing in my play pretend
Where the fun ain’t got no end
Can’t go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
You’re gone and I got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe
Got to stay high all my life to forget I’m missing you.
