yeah elliott tended to do that a lot in his songs, start in third and change it to first, or the other way around, or go back and fourth. He knew how to create a story in your head. This song is beautiful. At first listen i felt it was just anger and wanting to just be left alone to sleep for as long as you want (or to sleep forever). But the alcohol thing makes sense when reading the lyrics. Beautiful damn lyrics too.. I can say that these lines have so much behind them for me..
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I'm lying here waiting for sleep to over take me
for me it describes my imsomnia perfectly, i have felt those lines much too much for far to many years. I love this song.
