The Unlikely Candidates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did all my good friends go
Sometimes I get so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
Drinking champagne from the fire escape
Watching all my troubles rain down
Everyone I knows got somewhere to go
Billions of people but theres no one like me
Im left Im right Im out of my mind dont even know myself sometimes
I get so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
Sometimes I get so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
High Low High Low
Where did all my good friends go
High Low High Low High Low High Low
Hear my neighbors talk through these thin walls
Maybe Im just feeling left out
Sleeping on the floor of my castle
Wonder if Ill ever come down
Billions of people but theres no one like me
Im left Im right Im out of my mind I trust myself but I dont know why
I get so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
Sometimes I get so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
High Low High Low
Where did all my good friends go
High Low High Low High Low High Low
If Im feeling right
Ill go out tonight
Meet some strangers like me
Ill be stumbling home
Searching high and low
For somebody like me
For somebody like me
Sometimes
I feel so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
Sometimes I get so high so low
Where did all my good friends go
I keep on looking for somebody like me
Ive got this feeling that you know what I mean
High Low High Low
Where did all my good friends go
High Low High Low High Low High Low
Where did my
Where did my
Where did all my good friends go
Where did my
Where did my
