Chemical Heart
Grinspoon Lyrics
When
Look for a ride and you need to get high my friend
Spend all your time just walkin around instead
Like black rose there's somebody to hold for them
For them
Let's
Go outside have nothin to hide for free
Can't seem to see the forest from the trees
Grass is always greener but how do ya know we'll see
We'll see
Can't get started chemical heart
Every time I get started you pull me apart
Can't get started chemical heart
Every time I get started you pull me apart
Forgotten
Maybe things are right on the other side undone
Better of wishin for the stars to kill the sun
Like black rose if nobody can hold no one
No one
Can't get started chemical heart
Every time I get started you pull me apart
Can't get started chemical heart
Every time I get started you pull me apart
Yeah
When
Look for a ride and you need to get high my friends
Spend all ya time just walkin around instead
Like stack road there's somebody to hold for them
For them
Can't get started chemical heart
Every time I get started you pull me apart
Can't get started chemical heart
Every time I get started you pull me apart
Yeah
Can't get started
Chemical heart
Everytime I get started
You pull me apart
Can't get started
Chemical heart
Everytime I get started
You pull me apart
