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

[Verse 1]
I eat my dinner in my bathtub, then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people getting 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
Gotta stay high
Gotta stay—

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

[Chorus]
You're gone and I gotta stay high
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Stay high
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
High
Gotta stay high
You're gone and I gotta stay—

[Bridge]
Staying in my play pretend where the fun, it got no end
Oh, can't go home alone again, need someone to numb the pain
Oh, staying in my play pretend where the fun, it got no end
Uh, oh, can't go home alone again, need someone to numb the pain

[Chorus]
High
Gotta stay high
You're gone and I gotta stay high
Gotta stay high
You're gone and I gotta stay—

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.
