When I'm Drunk Lyrics
I woke up today in someone else’s bed
And I don’t know her name
I felt more alone waking up there with her
Than I do on my own
You felt that way too when it was just me and you
How awful was that?
I’ve been drunk for so long
The things I’ve done wrong are easier to hold
Tail lights burn red
Like the end of the my cigarette
You think I’m drunk now
You should stick around a bit
See how bad I get
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
Because they’d all be of you
And they’d all
They’d all sting the same way
I thought I heard you come home
Like a ghost through the hall again late last night
The windows shook in the storm like the bones in your hands
I don’t hold anymore
The wind called out your name
Like an old lost refrain to some old gospel song I hear over and over
Tail lights burn red
Like the end of the my cigarette
You think I’m drunk now
You should stick around a bit
See how bad I get
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
Because they’d all be of you
And they’d all
They’d all sting the same way
And I don’t know her name
I felt more alone waking up there with her
Than I do on my own
You felt that way too when it was just me and you
How awful was that?
I’ve been drunk for so long
The things I’ve done wrong are easier to hold
Like the end of the my cigarette
You think I’m drunk now
You should stick around a bit
See how bad I get
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
Because they’d all be of you
And they’d all
They’d all sting the same way
Like a ghost through the hall again late last night
The windows shook in the storm like the bones in your hands
I don’t hold anymore
The wind called out your name
Like an old lost refrain to some old gospel song I hear over and over
Like the end of the my cigarette
You think I’m drunk now
You should stick around a bit
See how bad I get
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
When I’m drunk I don’t dream
That’s a beautiful thing
Because they’d all be of you
And they’d all
They’d all sting the same way
