I'm sittin' on top of a mountain.
She's rockin' that valley down below.
Switchback to the peak with the blindfold,
Bombin' down at the top of my lungs
Screaming no
Straight out on a headwall,
Turned into a freefall.

I'm sipping on some sunshine.
I'm gonna leave it for the morning in the afterlife,
And she's drunk by the daytime.
I bet she feels it just the same in the evening

I'm sipping on some sunshine.
I'm gonna leave it for the morning in the afterlife,
And she's drunk by the daytime.
I bet she feels it just the same in the evening

I'm sittin' on top of a hillside.
There's a one-way path that's takin' me home.
Climbing up to the peak with a blindfold,
Bombin' down at the top of my lungs
Screaming no
Straight out on a headwall,
Turned into a freefall.

I'm sippin' on some sunshine.
I'm gonna leave it for the morning in the afterlife,
And she's drunk by the daytime.
I bet she feels it just the same in the evening.

I'm sippin' on some sunshine.
I'm gonna leave it for the morning in the afterlife,
And she's drunk by the daytime.
I bet she feels it just the same night anymore

I'm sippin' on some sunshine.
I'm gonna leave it for the morning in the afterlife,
And they're drunk by the daytime.
I bet they feel it just the same.
I bet they feel it just the same anymore.
