Cough Syrup (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life's too short to even care at all
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum

[Chorus]
If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

[Verse 2]
Life's too short to even care at all
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun

[Chorus]
If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore mе
Restore life thе way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

[Verse]
Life's too short to even care at all
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

[Outro]
One more spoon of cough syrup now
One more spoon of cough syrup now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
