Drinking Song Lyrics

Everything I touch turns to shit
Everyone I try to love won't hear of it
Now my hands are overfull of things I'd like to give
Does anybody want it?
Does anybody want it?
Does anybody want me?

I've been mapping it out
I don't know what's wrong with me
But I wish that it was something else
I've been mapping it out
Maybe you should find a girl who cares about herself

There's solace at the bottom of a bottle
ba da da da da da
There's solace at the bottom of a bottle
ba da da da da da

Everywhere I look I see your face
No button I can push, delete, erase
Got nothing straight but for the emptiness
No one left for me to miss

I've been mapping it out
I don't know what's wrong with me
But I wish that it was something else
I've been mapping it out
Maybe you should find a girl who cares about herself

There's solace at the bottom of a bottle
ba da da da da da
There's solace at the bottom of a bottle
ba da da da da da

Down here we've got so much time to forget

I wonder if this is how I pay for the things I've broken carelessly
Nobody wants to step on it
I guess I just keep drinking

There's solace at the bottom of a bottle
ba da da da da da
There's solace at the bottom of a bottle
ba da da da da da

The problem with falling is
sooner or later you have to hit something

i always thought she sang "it's saddest at the bottom of the botton"... shrug

so the song, basically...feeling lonely. she's full of love she would like to give but there's no one in her life. i like how it is such a painful/sad song and then it goes into this really upbeat chorus.

awesome song!

It's definitely "There's solace", yeah.

Not a very good transcription here...

Definitely "there's solace at the bottom of the bottle"

Pretty sure "Got nothing straight but for the emptiness" even though that's questionable..

And the last verse, for sure, "The problem with falling is sooner or later you have to hit something."

Great song, perfect for those feelings of emptiness from a lost relationship that you feel like you screwed up. So close to home for me right now... "So much time to forget." And the unfortunately welcome quick fix for that...

Mainly I just love the chorus to this one. It's so... unexpectedly happy. Love this song.
