Nickelback - Just To Get High Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was my best friend, I tried to help him,
But he traded everything, for suffering,
And found himself alone.
I watched the lying, turn into hiding,
Were melted to the bone.
[Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like,
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night.
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick, get it over with,
You're better off...
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot,
[Verse 2]
Three days no sleeping, he gave up eating,
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing,
And pretended not to know...
He started stealing, to supply the feeling,
Found out he pulled a knife, on someone's wife...
And held it to her throat.
[Extended Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like,
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night.
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick, get it over with,
You're better off...
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?
Show me, is what you really want, watching what you've got
Slowly...!
Circling the drain, throw it all away,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).
High-igh, igh...oooooh!
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick, get it over with,
You're better off...
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?
Show me, is what you really want, watching what you've got
Slowly...!
Circling the drain, throw it all away,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh
Circling the drain, throw it all away,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh.

Nickelback Just To Get High Comments
I lost my best friend from drugs and I was addicted to meth and fentenal and now I'm a year clean and this song brings those memories back
Just to get high 👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳
Fitting that one of their worst albums produced one of their best songs.
I hate the fact your video, that's copyrighted is pushed ontop of the actual nickelback video, damn shame.
This is a will likely always be my favorite song about drugs.
Been listening to nickelback since their first song how you remind me best band they just keep getting better n better!!!
why do people not like nickleback
its that with no Copyright?
Why do people hate Nickelback again?
I hope my love finds the light
Remember kids don't be meth it will really fuck you up bad
This is a good song but... it's sad :'(
2019......
Used to chase my brother down to this song. He used to get high for days on end and disappear.
I too like to live dangerously
Fodastica.
Anyone listening in 2019!?! ❤️
2020 now my dude
Never heard of Nickelback till I met my first girlfriend. Now I own a Nickelback CD lol
They still sell CDs these days?😂😂😂😂(sarcasm)
Never Again photograph and just to get high I swear are amazing.....oh wait Nickelback is just amazing in general
Never thought I’d relate to this song. Sadly now I do.
Tell me what you gone and done now
Known too many people that have gone this way I know it’s personal decisions but still why was it worth it to those people? God I hope not
I know this is about drugs but it reminds me of majoras mask
I don't get it, they have songs like this, "Next Go Round", "Midnight Queen" and some other energetic tracks yet they don't play them live
2:19 - 2:46 gets me high.
Nickelback haters bring my piss to a boil hate those losers
Never thought I’d relate to this song... sadly I do now
One Of Their Best/Better Songs.
I think it's because it's a more serious song of theirs that isn't about drinking or sex
I love this song so much!
Fuck Da haters
Que solo é esse pqp
I have a childhood best friend, we grew up together. But as we got older both of us went our separate paths. I went to college, started a career and got somewhere in life. However she went the opposite, bouncing from home to home, smoking, snorting, shooting any type of drugs she could get her hands on. She tried everything to get those drugs. Stealing, murder, robbery. to this day shes still in that hole. I've tried desperately to help her but all my attempts have been futile. She's like a sister and I never want to lose her, but I feel like her life will be cut short if she doesn't stop. And that scares me more than anything. This song reminds me of her so I listen to it all the time.
Same one day
Go nickelback
And I love this band
You haters are dumb this band is the best it rock's
This song really gets me because where I live I see so many people who this is their story. And it is why the area went from a nice peaceful place to live to a shithole anyone who wants a decent life flees.
This song reminds me so much of Supernatural when Sam was drinking demon blood.
WHO'S LISTING WITH ME IN 2018
This song is my story...
They are GREAT!!!!
I dedicate this to my ex-boyfriend who, a while ago, was also my best friend. Every word of this will ring true every day of my life.
the most underrated nickelback song. two solos in four minutes. great issue in lyrics. good mixing.
Fuck off with Nickelback haters, this is a good song.
It’s so hard to watch the people that you love slip away because of drugs and knowing that there’s nothing that you can do about it.
Probably Nickelback's best song EVAR
All their songs sound the same my ass
I think it's more the formula of the songs being about the same thing maybe
Well we can’t all live happy long lives gotta have some druggies to keep the news crews employed
Ooh this solo .....
We only get one life. Think about it.
It is fucking awesome song damn I ve been listening the song since that time it was released
Being a crack and heroin addict this song always touches a nerve. AALLL TRUE
You want to die when in withdrew but that's too much of a blessing. You have to live minute by minute second by second afterwords
This explains my life when I got released from jail in August 2016 now I got almost 18 months of sobriety
Keep it up! Glad to see you learned your lesson now staying sober is the battle
This song hits home for me cause my sister is an addict and I wonder how far she would go just to get high
2:18 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
Dark horse has no bad songs !
That solo 👌👌👌
I tak ma byc 😂🐔
Godddddddd I remember hearing this song when I was like 8 or 9 my parents had this CD and this was my favourite song for such a long time
This is touching song
Nostalgia
WOW ! SO IN YOUR FACE. ROCK ON WITH THAT MESSAGE.
This is so sad. I knew too many people who died from a heroin overdose! Especially since they were only in their early 20's. Their lives were so short.. I can't judge an addict bc we don't know what their going through to be doing what they do. I encourage any addict to get help before it's too late 😞😥
Love it
such a real song and people are talking shit about that band
can`t believe
love song but will never symoathize with same with family people guess I just be what am strong and introverted
only 17 an recovering💯🙏
Love this song
This reminds me of me when I was into drugs. The family I tore apart the self destructiveness. I’m glad I’m off of drugs
Zach Jansheski I’m a little late man but congrats. Drugs are a b!tch
My husband is a recovering addict I can relate to this song on so many levels I've never been a addict but my family has alot of addicts in it my own mother is one

danny we all love you brother and we hope you get off that crap, get a job, and move out of your grandmas basement. You are meant for better things.
I've lost mates to the evil meth... once they start down that road it's time to say goodbye fuckoff...
I don't get why most rock fans slate nickelback! Great vocals, grest riffs and great vocals!
Probably the best song in Dark Horse.
What drug is he on that melts fingertips to the bone?
Guys this song means so much for people around look at how drugs and smoking affect people's lives their bad people lose their lives minds and sadly die or have ended up in jail because of it
This is why I am say if someone is having that problem get them it help it may be for the better because it's sad no one should have to ever lose their parents or friends to drugs or smoking and I'm only 15
I can relate because a wise man once said never take life for granted
Plz it's a message thats made clear in the song
Can the drugs elevate our life? No, they are s..t!!!!!!
We need to take care of ourselves, our parents...
So, let's respect ourselves.
God helps when we need to feel us better.
No God, it's all right, but don't use drugs, cigarettes, alcohol to enjoy yourself.
A kiss from Palermo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard it's popular in Russia.
This song is about synthetic heroine, that shit will eat your skin away. "his fingertips were melted to the bone"
That beginning though...chills, man!
I'm planning on using this in my newest book. My main character goes to track down an old friend from years ago; finding him in such a decrepit state and has to try to convince them to help them out again.
I remember when I was three I sat in a Walmart parking lot and played this super loud.

Matthew Jones na bro you're not old she's just a baby.. and it's likely you and I grew up in a better generation then her
You listened to Nickelback when you were three?! Lol
keeping me alive to tonight... that will do.
IMO: Their single best song ever written, recorded and published. Never performed ;_;
Older song now, but I think it's still one of their best:)
