There's fights to match the pretty lights and souls here to be saved
But I'll save that fight for another day
I've got matches for my cigarettes and hearts hanging on the line
And the glasses that we tip to pass the time
The bigger you go, the deeper the debt, a future to owe and I'm a mess
But I saw it once and it was amazing
There's a chorus in the bedroom and bird perched on the line and I think that we can get there if we try
Oh you high achievers, you make me want to cry
Give it up, give it one last try
I'll take the good parts and you can keep the rest
Give it up, give it up, it's for the best
Oh, you high achievers
La La
