Brittany Howard Stay High Lyrics

I already feel like doing it again, honey
‘Cause once you know, then you know
And you don’t wanna go
Back to wherever it is that you come from, yeah
I just want to stay high with you
‘Cause where I come from
Everybody frowns and walks around
With that ugly thing on their face
And where I come from
We work hard and grind and hustle all-day
(Yes, we do)
There comes a time, there comes a time
At night, where we get to play
And we smile and laugh and jump and clap
And yell and holler and just feel great
I just want to stay high with you
(With you, with you)
So, don’t question my state of mind
I’m doing wonderful, just fine, thank you
(Thank you)
Everything is everything and everything is beautiful
(How did you get like that?)
See all I do is keep it cool and don’t worry ’bout what everyone is doing
I already feel like doing it again, honey
I just want to stay high
I just want to stay high
I just want to stay high with you

Brittany Howard You Ain’t Alone Lyrics

You ain’t alone, so why are you lonely?
There you go on the dark end of the street
Are you scared to tell somebody how you feel about somebody
Are you scared what somebody’s gonna think
Or are you scared to wear your heart out on your sleeve Are you scared me
‘Cause I’m scared the bomb gonna take me away
Oh, but I don’t know what I got to say
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Hey One two three
Are you too scared to dance for me
Bite the bullet or tug my sleeve
Or are you scared out on your own two feet
Alright We ain’t that different, you and me
‘Cause I’m scared the storm’s gonna take me away
But I don’t know what I got to say
Alright, alright
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hey Cry, if you gonna cry
Come on, cry with me
Cry, if you gonna cry
Come on, cry with me You, you ain’t alone
Just let me be your ticket home
You, you ain’t alone
Just let me be your ticket home
Just let me be your ticket home You, you ain’t alone
Just let me be your ticket home
You, you ain’t alone
Just let me be your ticket home
