Say you want me when you're sober
Is it really that much harder?
I'm holding the three drinks meant for you
Pallbearers from Boxers carrying you
Wake me up when I am sober
Oh that's right you left earlier
Make me watch as you are drowning
When you tell them you're not drowning
If I drink too would I melt in your open arms
Or will some other guy approach me and do me harm?
Our friends don't have much to say about where the two of us stand
So you'll move south and I'll go home with three drinks in my head
I'll wait in your car until you're sober
I'll wait all my life until you're better
Tell me the things that make you feel bad
And why you're scared of becoming your dad
Say you love me when you're sober
Oh that's right you left earlier
Make me watch as you are drowning
Can't you tell I am also drowning?
If I drink too would I feel any closer to you
Or will I collapse underneath my baggage too?
We'll disappear and none of our friends will understand
You'll leave them all and I'll go home with three drinks in my head
The jacket you left in the basement of Boxers smells of wood
From the fires that we lit all around the neighborhood
Our friends don't have much to say about where the two of us stand
So you'll move south and I'll go home with three drinks in my head
