Mike Posner: I took a pill in Ibiza

I took a pill in Ibiza

To show Avicii I was cool

And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older

But fuck it, it was something to do

I’m living out in LA

I drive a sports car just to prove

I’m a real big baller ’cause I made a million dollars

And I spend it on girls and shoes

But you don’t wanna be high like me

Never really knowing why like me

You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone

You don’t wanna ride the bus like this

Never knowing who to trust like this

You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing

Stuck up on that stage singing

All I know are sad songs, sad songs

Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I’m just a singer who already blew his shot

I get along with old timers

‘Cause my name’s a reminder of a pop song people forgot

And I can’t keep a girl, no

‘Cause as soon as the sun comes up

I cut ’em all loose and work’s my excuse

But the truth is I can’t open up

But you don’t wanna be high like me

Never really knowing why like me

You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone

You don’t wanna ride the bus like this

Never knowing who to trust like this

You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing

Stuck up on that stage singing

All I know are sad songs, sad songs

Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I took a plane to my home town

I brought my pride and my guitar

All my friends are all gone but there’s manicured lawns

And the people still think I’m a star

I walked around downtown

I met some fans on Lafayette

They said tell us how to make it ’cause we’re getting real impatient

So I looked ’em in the eye and said

You don’t wanna be high like me

Never really knowing why like me

You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone

You don’t wanna ride the bus like this

Never knowing who to trust like this

You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing

Stuck up on that stage singing

All that I know are sad songs, sad songs

Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs
