[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I eat my dinner in my bathtub, then I go to sex clubs
Watchin' freaky people gettin' it on
It doesn't make me nervous, if anything, I'm restless
Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all
I get home, I got the munchies, binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money, dazed and kinda lonely

[Chorus]
You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze, tryna forget you, babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missin' you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Pick up daddies at the playground, how I spend my day time
Loosen up their frown, make 'em feel alive
I make it fast and greasy, I'm numb and way too easy

[Chorus]
You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze, tryna forget you, babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missin' you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Stayin' in my play pretend, where the fun ain't got no end, oh
Can't go home alone again, need someone to numb the pain, oh
Stayin' in my play pretend, where the fun ain't got no end, oh-oh
Can't go home alone again, need someone to numb the pain


[Chorus]
You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh-oh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze, tryna forget you, babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life, to forget I'm missin' you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Oh-oh

Tove Lo

Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, professionally known as Tove Lo (pronounced Too-veh-Lu), is a Swedish singer-songwriter born and raised in Djursholm, Sweden.

She first rose to prominence for her single, “Habits (Stay High)“, which became a top ten hit in the U.S. a year after its 2013 release, a dark breakup anthem that generated such Internet buzz that it led to a deal with Universal. “Habits“ and its follow-up, “Out of Mind“, appeared on her debut EP Truth Serum, in 2014.

Later that year, her debut album, Queen of the Clouds, arrived, featuring “Habits“. The album was a Top 10 hit in Sweden and a Top 20 hit in the U.S. and U.K., and the subsequent single “Talking Body“ was a similar success.
