[Verse 1]
Well, he was smooth with the words he said
Felt a body rush, I got a little buzzed when I took him in
One burning kiss, no turning back
Sweet on my lips, but the problem is with a love like that

[Chorus]
When you get high high hopes
And you can't see through the smoke
And it feels to good to be true
And your mind plays tricks on you
But when you come down and he’s nowhere to be found
You end up feelin' low low low
'Cause you know, they were just high high hopes

[Verse 2]
Killing streak, it hit you fast
You’re finally free and your heart believes it's gonna last
But it's such a trip, yeah, such a lie
It leaves you wanting more, crying on the floor with bloodshot eyes

[Chorus]
When you get high high hopes
And you can't see through the smoke
And it feels to good to be true
And your mind plays tricks on you
But when you come down and he's nowhere to be found
You end up feelin' low low low
'Cause you know, they were just high high hopes
[Bridge]
I love it and I hate it
I spent so much time wasting
That I can't tell the sky from the ground

[Outro]
’Til I come down
And he’s nowhere to be found
And I end up feeling low low low
'Cause I shoulda known
They were just high high hopes
