Quotes

• What I'm singing about is my life. It's the truth. I've had moments where that has been a bigger part than it should be. It's hard to admit to, and I could filter it or find another metaphor for it — but it doesn't feel right to me.

• When I'm on stage, I turn into this rock person. I give everything I have. I sing with emotion, I'm loving it up there, and I think there's a lot of energy. In the same way that I'm open when I speak, I'm that open on stage.

Song lyrics

• You're gone and I gotta stay
  High all the time to keep you off my mind
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
  High all the time to keep you off my mind
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
  Spend my days locked in a haze
  Tryna forget you, babe, I fall back down
  Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missin' you
  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
