When I Was Up by Johnny Nicol Lyrics
Hook
When I was up
You would always come around
But when i neeeeeeded a friend
Oh, you could never be found
Verse 1
Im not surprised that you’re gone
Though I’m still fucked up, writing this song
I really don’t know whats been going on
Something wrong and
I think its something to do with you
Pee yew, this shits way past its due
Date, i hate, to be the one to break
The news, but its through
I may be late, fate decided this
B4 i could connect the dots
(BINGO)
Ya know how this shit goes
Fall flat on my face as if i had no toes
Id rather be six below
Than undergo pain like this
But long behold
You come and go
What can i do to try to get over you
Thats something I’ve never been able to do
Man, i hope to god this bridge is completed soon
If not, i guess ill take a bunch of methadone and float to the moon
If i survive ill find kim jung un’s
Mailing address
Send a lady dressed as the president
My intent is him giving his missiles a real test
Hook
When I was up
You would always come around
But when i neeeeeeded a friend
Oh, you could never be found
Verse 2
Johnny! My man!
Hows it going? Gottdamn
Its been so long, seems like you’re always gone
Hmmm nope, I’m just sittin in my studio
Working on a song, killing the mic
You should know
You can come by whenever ya like
Oh man i would but you know, busy busy life
I take 4 credit hours at a community college
Work 20 hours a week for mcdonalds
Then spend the rest of my time
With worthless bitches
You know, more women more problems
I keep digging myself a deeper hole
And blame god for not pulling me out a long time ago
Every though, I’m the one solely to blame but yo
My life must not have been as easy as yours
Woah
Hold up, thats how i know you’re a fake
Do you even listen to a word that i say?
I must be too fast pace
I bet ya brain
Doesn’t work that way
Must be all those xans that you ate
Get the fuck outta my face
You're nothin but a mothafuckin snake
Hook
When I was up
You would always come around
But when i neeeeeeded a friend
Oh, you could never be found
Verse 3
I can’t wait to see
The people calling me
Asking for VIP tickets
And invites to the album release party
You used to hardly acknowledge my existence
I guess persistence is key
Thats why you haven’t stopped texting me
Gee golly johnny your songs are so amazing
Why aren’t we already banging
Hmmm i don’t know
Before i started slayin’ the mic
Empty shows every night
You were no where in sight?
(Haha) when i write, everything feels right
No doubt id be happy doing this the rest of my life
I just have trust issues
You’re sure put it to miss-use
More dangerous than an 8 legged recluse
Wheres the proof?
You literally just told me you had a boyfriend named mike
But you do have the kind of face, tits, and ass that i like…
So what do you think? want to be my wife?
(Yeah!! Yeah!)
Haha sike
The Coliseum is on 8 Mile, just past Van Dyke
Hook 2x
When I was up
You would always come around
