High Life Lyrics - This Desert Life - Counting Crows

All my friends got flowers in their eyes 

But I got none this season 

All of the last ten years' blooms have gone and died 

Time doesn't give a reason 

Well hey baby, do you ask yourself sometimes 

What you need to be forgiven? 

Everything that you've ever done wrong 

Is the reason that I'm driven straight to you 

Waiting here for you, wanting to tell you 

How I get my ends and my beginnings mixed up too 

Just the way you do, I thought if I told you 

You might want to stay for just another day or two 

It's just like answers 

That come in small packages 

That go in the mail 

Waiting for the trains that just never come 

Beginning to believe in 

The disappearing nature of the people we have been 

We have begun to change 

Into the worst kind of people, so unkind 

Oh apologies, no apologies, this apology 

Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you 

Waiting here for you, wanting to tell you 

How I find myself slowly disappearing too 

Just the way you do, I thought if I told you 

You might want to help me to remain with you 

I just wanna stay for a little while 

I wanna stay for a little while 

Well come on, now come on, now come, now come on 

'Cause there's a night life falling down on me 

I just feel like a change 

Beneath the sun in the summer a sea of flowers won't bloom 

Without the rain 

But oh, this desert life, this high life 

Here at the dying of the day 

I wasn't made for this scene, baby, I was made in this scene 

Baby, it's just my way 

I don't want to go home alone 

I wanna come on home to you 

Waiting here for you, wanting to tell you 

How I line my sky with all the silver I can use 

Just the way you do, I thought if I told you 

You might want to stay for just another day or two 

Isn't that just like disappearing into the sum of yourself 

And the person you are disappearing into 

It's like one plus one equals nothing at all 

One plus two equals nothing at all, one plus me equals nothing at all 

One plus you equals one plus you equals you and you and you and you And nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all 

Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all 

Nothing at all, nothing at all
