I Took A Pill In Ibiza

Mike Posner

I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober
Felt 10 years older
But f**k it, it was something to do
I'm living out in L.A.
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller
Because I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes

But you don't want to be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever want to step off that roller coaster
And be all alone
You don't want to ride a bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't want to be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
Because my name's a reminder
Of a pop song people forgot
And I can't keep a girl, no
Because as soon as the sun comes up
I cut them all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up

But you don't want to be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever want to step off that roller coaster
And be all alone
You don't want to ride a bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't want to be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I took a plane to my home town
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone
But there's manicured lawns
And the people still think I'm a star
I walked around downtown home
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said tell us how to make it
Because we're getting real impatient
So I looked them in the eye and said

You don't want to be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever want to step off that roller coaster
And be all alone
You don't want to ride a bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't want to be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
