Line by Line Meaning

Staying in my play pretend
Remain in a state of make-believe


Where the fun ain't got no end
Where pleasure is unabating


Can't go home alone again
Cannot return to solitude


Need someone to numb the pain
Require another to dull the ache


You're gone and I got to stay high
You've departed, and I must remain intoxicated


All the time (to time to)
Without cessation


High all the time (to time to)
Continually intoxicated


To keep you off my mind (ooh ooh)
So thoughts of you don't occupy my thoughts
