In a rundown city apartment I'm laying on the bedroom floor I hear the girl next door Crying up against the wall And I can tell by the weight of the silence That she ain't gonna take no more I hear the man next door Saying it will be alright Saying I don't wanna lose you tonight I don't wanna fall when I'm this high I don't really want to be free I'm living the life, it's all I need And you can take away the lonely nights Cause all I ever needed is my vice I don't really want to be free I'm living the life There's a knock on the balcony window A silhouette on the fire escape It's the girl next door Looking for a place to stay I open up and I say are you alright She says I didn't know where else to go I've seen you in my dreams You're everywhere I used to go You're everywhere And I don't wanna lose you tonight I don't wanna fall when I'm this high I don't really want to be free I'm living the life, it's all I need And you can take away the lonely nights Cause all I ever needed is my vice I don't really want to be free I'm living the life There's nothing I need when I got you on my mind And everything's just fine When we are intertwined together One forever, we'll be living the life I don't wanna lose you tonight I don't wanna fall when I'm this high I don't really want to be free I'm living the life, it's all I need And you can take away the lonely nights Cause all I ever needed is my vice I don't really want to be free I'm living the life, it's all I need And I don't wanna lose you tonight I don't wanna fall when I'm this high I don't really want to be free I'm living the life
