Song Lyrics

I can see it out my window
That stupid sunshine
And those trees
A voice my head
It cuts me down in
I try to shut it up but I can't let it go (oh!)

It sounds a lot like you do
Always saying shit I know it's not true
It sucks me in
It spits me out
I try to shut it up 'cause I must let it go

[Chorus]
Hey man don't you know you're choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better than that
Sucking me in
Spitting me out
One day I may just leave you far behind me

I can hear it in the hallway
It's out there laughing with its friends
It's a voice in my head
It cuts me down in
I try to shut it up 'cause I must let it go (oh!)

It looks a lot like you do
It looks like--uh--I don't want to say it
It sucks me in
It spit it out
I try to shut it up 'cause I must let it go

[Chorus]

Woah man don't you know you're choking the cherry
I'm frustrated why don't you get off my back
Hey man don't you know you're the choking the cherry
Hey man you know I deserve better than that
One day I may just leave you far behind me

Hey man don't you know you're choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better than that
Hey man don't you know you're choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better than that
Hey man
