I can wait to love in heaven
I can wait for you
Far away, I'll treat you better
Better than down here
'cause I done wrong
And I'm a little afraid
I ain't to strong
And this ain't easy to say:
Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away-the both of you
And let me feel the pain-I've done to you
I can hope we'll be together
With a better roof over our heads
I can hope the stormy weather
It passes on-it passes on-
But I've hoped too long
Hoped for me to change
That hope is gone
So listen to what I say:
Take this bottle
I can wait for you
Far away, I'll treat you better
Better than down here
'cause I done wrong
And I'm a little afraid
I ain't to strong
And this ain't easy to say:
Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away-the both of you
And let me feel the pain-I've done to you
I can hope we'll be together
With a better roof over our heads
I can hope the stormy weather
It passes on-it passes on-
But I've hoped too long
Hoped for me to change
That hope is gone
So listen to what I say:
Take this bottle

Perhaps the most elegant regret song ever.
The idea of an alcoholic asking his wife/gf/love to go away with the bottle itself (a symbolic act more than anything else) so he feels the pain of what he's done to her fits right in for me.
This is perhaps Mike's "cleanest" singing ever. Everytime he hits the high notes on "IIIIIIIIIIII can waaaiit" it cracks me up.
