| Jim was just an average guy
|
| Growing up in a middle class world
|
| He got bored bout the time he turned 16
|
| He decided to try a few things, some bad things
|
| Hanging out with a different crowd
|
| Living the fast live and nothing to care about
|
| There was a plastic bottle getting passed around
|
| He learned quick this is how they got down
|
| Soon everyone had done got something out
|
| They put it in their mouth and washed it down
|
| Told Jim it was his turn and hurry up
|
| He took one out they gave him a cup
|
| Then he closed his eyes and done what they said
|
| It didn’t take long for him to feel the effects
|
| He felt a rush he could never explain
|
| He thought it was good but it would never be the same, and he sang.
|
| This plastic bottle always has what I need
|
| You take away all of those bad memories
|
| All of those times it used to make me feel sad
|
| It makes me feel better than I ever have
|
| This plastic bottle always been good to me
|
| Takes me away where I can finally be free
|
| I hope that one day I won’t need what’s inside
|
| So I can feel how I felt before the first time
|
| Fast forward about ten years
|
| Now Jim has his own plastic bottle of pill
|
| He can’t go one day without one
|
| And spends every last dime just to get some
|
| It was a mistake that he can never get back
|
| He’d give anything to get back on track
|
| The feeling that he gets now ain’t the same
|
| It don’t fight off rain and don’t cure the pain
|
| But now it’s a new day and it’s time
|
| To walk into a new place and rewind
|
| Take control of the light that he has
|
| Take mistakes and leave them in the past
|
| He knows it’s gonna take help and lots of it
|
| To take a disease head on and just crush it
|
| And to think it all started on that night
|
| And innocent decision that changed his whole life, when he sang
|
| This plastic bottle always has what I need
|
| You take away all of those bad memories
|
| All of those times it used to make me feel sad
|
| It makes me feel better than I ever have
|
| This plastic bottle always been good to me
|
| Takes me away where I can finally be free
|
| I hope that one day I won’t need what’s inside
|
| So I can feel how I felt before the first time |
