Do It Anyway
Sinead Harnett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get high doing what I want
And I wanna get high today
So go ahead and waste your time
Tryina change my mind
'Cause I'm gonna do it anyway
I get high doing what I want
And I wanna get high today
So go ahead and waste your time
Tryina change my mind
'Cause I'm gonna do it anyway

Hello, hell no, the darkness is beautiful
And I'm just setting the time
Oh baby now I don't need to
Be a part of this crowd of fools
So I'm just taking the throne
No if's, so, buts, I don't give a fuck
I'm ready to shine
I cut above, that trippy cloud
I don't have the time

I get high doing what I want
And I wanna get high today
So go ahead and waste your time
Tryina change my mind
'Cause I'm gonna do it anyway

I get high, get high
Said, said, said
I get high, get high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I get high, get high
Said, said, said
I get high, get high

One sip, two hits, who knows
You might like it
Go slow, then double your dose
I'm letting go, I won't follow
No need to play nice
I'm into this, I'm feeling it
The power inside
I get by just fine on my own
Just you wait till I'm in my zone

I get high doing what I want
And I wanna get high today
So go ahead and waste your time
Tryina change my mind
'Cause I'm gonna do it anyway

I get high, get high
Said, said, said
I get high, get high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I get high, get high
Said, said, said
I get high, get high

I get high doing what I want
And I wanna get high today
So go ahead and waste your time




Tryina change my mind
'Cause I'm gonna do it anyway
