Handsome Drink Lyrics

When I think of you, I think
I'm just a fool with handsome drink
It never fails that I can't sleep
Dreaming of you, I mull and sink

I can't wake up (I don't know what to do when I'm with you)
I can't wake up (I don't know what to do when I'm with you)
I can't wake up
I can't wake up
I can't wake

If I could think of things to say
I don't think that I'd act this way
It never fails that I can't speak
I hear your voice and I go weak

I can't wake up (I don't know what to do when I'm with you)
I can't wake up (I don't know what to do when I'm with you)
I can't wake up
I can't wake up
I can't wake

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I like the sound of this band. I only wish more people had heard of them. This is one of my favorites of theirs. Its sound is wonderful, for lack of a better word choice. I once exprienced this...being tongue-tied whenever around someone. It was so odd as it had never been a problem of mine before then. It's like you're tongue is in knots and when something does come out it's always wrong...or at least not what you wished you had said. Good memories. Good song.
