High Spirits

from Romance by Dash Jacket

	/

lyrics

what am i saying?
i can't be too sure.
high spirits pour over me,
and i'm saying things i've never even thought before.

what am i seeing?
it all becomes so bright and clear.
is this body what it means to be a human being?
how do i know if i'll make it to the end of the year?

how do i measure
the space between my feet and the floor?
delirium is a guilty pleasure,
and right now i don't think i can take much more.

words can('t) do too much damage, and i don't understand why, but somehow i manage to get by.

oh, are you my lover?
i know that you're someone i love.
i'm such a tentative bother,
but i can count on high spirits to give me a shove.
