Songwriter: Robin Wilson Phil Rhodes

Producer: John Hampton Gin Blossoms

Looking up i saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind

I'm high and i'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now i'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind

Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile

Now i'm running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, that's not easy to let you know
What i'm dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile

Now i've thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone falling hard
And i'm only getting worse

Looking up i saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind

I'm high and i'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now i'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind

Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
I'm hiding high...

Gin Blossoms

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
