Way past those days at last
These are times I’m not scared at all
Year ’round and I won’t stumble down
That sunshine will rise if I fall
Yesterday went away
You always raise me higher
I keep on sayin’ you got to meet me in the middle
And that’ll mean we both got to give a little
I got no doubt that we can just work it out
Do you feel the same way?
There’s a reason to be mad
But I want to live like I can
I hope that you understand me, bo!
You’ve got a big cup
Baby, let me fill it up
With all of my love
I said, with all of my love
Smokin’ that good weed
Getting high, we are stoners
On a highway with all of our friends
And with some loners
The comin’ of the light, that pure insighter
Covered in the day and the night’s divider
To be all alone with no one whatsoever
How in the world did this come together?
You wonder, “Will it stop?”
‘Cause no one can inhabit that mountaintop
Rubbin’ on my love just to get by
She’s the one thing that keeps me high
Well, it depends on whether or not it sounds true
It kinda defined the filter it’s gone through
It is a good time to be in my mind
Where possibilities will never end
There’s a reason to be mad
But I want to live like I can
I hope that you understand me, bo!
