Cough Syrup Lyrics
[BLAINE]
Life's too short to even care at all, oh whoa oh
I'm losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' control
Oh oh
These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me, whoa oh
Oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum
Whoa oh
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh whoa
I'm coming up now, coming up now, out of the blue oh
These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh whoa oh oh

What did Glee Cast say about "Cough Syrup"?
Max Adler, who played David Karofsky on the show, talked about how he felt about Darrin Criss singing the song in 2012:
Darren and I are great friends; he killed the song in my opinion. I enjoy listening to that more than Young the Giant’s version. I listened to it when I got the script and I thoug...
How did Young the Giant react to their song be used on Glee?
I don’t think we ever had the intent of the song in such a serious scene. It’s very, very intense, very, very impactful, and we most definitely empathized with that. All of us have been victims of bullying – and been bullies at some point in time. It’s something that hits everyone.
– Via Billboard...
Was Young the Giant apprehensive about their song being featured on Glee?
Obviously there is that initial feeling of, ‘Oh yeah, it’s Glee,’ and none of us watch ‘Glee’ and there are some problems with that. But at the end of the day I think we’re happier people are watching something that’s music-based. There’s so much bulls*** on television. I mean, there’s ‘Jersey Shore...
How did the song perform commercially?
The song peaked at #65 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #67 on the Canadian Hot 100.
The song marked the first and only Glee cover of a Young the Giant song to appear on the series and on any music chart.
