Holding fast until
The rent checks wear thin
Because it hasn't sunk in, so far
when it's a drab routine
The dust starts building
Until its hard to come clean
then my months stack up
To an addictive crush
As if the drink weren't enough
a stagger cannot compete
There's no charm in being
A residential state street
and if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know
Better than you show
With parted lips pointing down
That the whiskey soothes
More than you could ever do
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?er
what a difference it'd make
And what a different it'd make
and if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
what a difference it'd make
And what a different it'd make
