"I Drink Expensive Rye, Do Coke
The College Girls Think I'm a Joke"
Instead of the "A drink expanse the ride you caught".
If I'm right, I think the line kind of kills a bit of the song for me. It has a bit of innocence and throwing throwing the hard drug reference sort of dirties it up. Maybe that's the point?
Beyond that, this is a pretty killer song. I like the admission that he knows he's being dumb about it, but he still keeps on it. I can sort of relate to parts of the song, but not currently. That said, I appreciate the song and have friends who this likely applies to. :)
@logansrun51 you are ABSOLUTELY correct… the lyric is basically a “list”.

Another place in this lyric that needs changing is right before that that says “Standing in a single spot of compromise the things we all have to say that no one ever knew” the lyric is actually “Standing in the singles bar or compromise the things we are I have to say you know Im nothing new.”

And one more: “The day's of run have past” should be “The days are runnin’ past. Each ones like the last.”
These lyrics are copy and pasted all over the internet incorrectly.
As for the song its self, well, There are a few songs that Daniel Power makes references to drugs and drug use. “Jimmy Gets High” is one that comes to mind. I do believe that most of the references are about how its a bad thing not referred to a good thing. If I was guessing that it may be something from his personal life. Where I would love to claim a lot of songs out there as “My song” or Hits me in the feels I also have to remember Its a shared feeling. He was writing the song from his point of view which dosent exactly hit on every word but the majority of them do.
In fact I found this on the Warner Bros. Records site:
“By the time the success had ran out, Daniel found himself addicted to alcohol and cocaine. "I became a slave to it and ended up managing my life around it," he recalled. He tackled these vices for five years, which included a stint in rehab.”
———-
My bet is that he was writing about his own life or at least his old life. The song is about regret and being down on himself for making “stupid” decisions.
