The Bottle of Wine Lyrics
Timing and its focus
It's what ruins and it dopes us
Reality ain't the same, if you don't play the game
Cause I'm tired and it's hopeless
I'm not beaten, but I'm broken
Words I've never spoken
What do you say? what do you say?
I guess you can't look up to me that way
I guess you can't look up to me that way
Is it fire or is it smoke?
Or should we just go for broke
Here comes boredom and it's useless
I think life should come all inclusive
At least a little less abusive
What do you say? what do you say?
I guess you can't look up to me that way
I guess you can't look up to me that way
The bottle of wine was fine this time
And I really don't think it's changed
The bottle of wine was fine this time.
But oh, how I think you've changed
Timing and its focus
It's what ruins and it dopes us
Reality ain't the same if you don't play the game
Here comes boredom and it's useless
I think life should come all inclusive
At least a little less abusive
What do you say what do you say
I guess you can't look up to me that way
I guess you can't look up to me that way
The bottle of wine was fine this time
And I really don't think it's changed
The bottle of wine was fine this time.
But oh, how I think you've changed [x3]
It's what ruins and it dopes us
Reality ain't the same, if you don't play the game
Cause I'm tired and it's hopeless
I'm not beaten, but I'm broken
Words I've never spoken
What do you say? what do you say?
I guess you can't look up to me that way
I guess you can't look up to me that way
Or should we just go for broke
Here comes boredom and it's useless
I think life should come all inclusive
At least a little less abusive
What do you say? what do you say?
I guess you can't look up to me that way
I guess you can't look up to me that way
And I really don't think it's changed
The bottle of wine was fine this time.
But oh, how I think you've changed
It's what ruins and it dopes us
Reality ain't the same if you don't play the game
Here comes boredom and it's useless
I think life should come all inclusive
At least a little less abusive
What do you say what do you say
I guess you can't look up to me that way
I guess you can't look up to me that way
And I really don't think it's changed
The bottle of wine was fine this time.
But oh, how I think you've changed [x3]

I've loved this song for quite a while now, but I only realized recently what it means. The verses are still a bit ambiguous to me, but the chorus has a clear meaning...
I think there's sort of an implied situation before what is said in the chorus. He's drinking wine (over dinner?) with someone he's known for a while - a close friend, family member, or former girlfriend, I'm really not sure - bust hasn't talked to in a long time. Whoever it is, they complain about the taste of the wine (the same kind they always drink). This is out of character for them, so he thinks to himself, "The bottle of wine was fine this time And I really don't think it's changed The bottle of wine was fine this time. But oh, how I think you've changed." He means that they've become completely different and sort of spoiled, forgetting their past together with him and sort of being happy they've moved on.
Like it. Mildly reminds me of going home after being away for a while, hanging out with my friends, doing the same things that we always used to do, but being in completely different places in our lives.
