Holding fast until the rent checks wear thin
because it hasnt sunk in... so far
Well its a drab routine, the dust storms building
and then its hard to come clean
Then the months stack up to an addictive crutch
As if the drink werent enough
A stagger cannot compete
Theres no charm in being residential state street
And if I was sober
could I kill caution and stay over
And if I was sober
would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know better than you show
with parted lips pointed down
That the whiskey seems more than you could ever do.
And if I was sober
could I kill caution and stay over
And if I was sober
would I rip hearts apart like paper?
What a difference it made
What a difference it made
And if I was sober
could I kill caution and stay over
And if I was sober
would I rip hearts apart like paper?
What a difference it made
What a difference it made
