Stark Raving Sober

Stark Raving Sober
V1:
I’m 15 days white knuckle over you
I’d be lying to say I’m doing better than I used to do
Every day I’m tempted, more than I expected, wanting to call you up and make another mess of it
Thinking your sweet talk might take the edge off what I’m going through
It's been two weeks of figuring up the outs and ins of
Why you’d want to leave me behind
Walking the floor, peek out the door, wondering what I’m doing that for You’re not coming back, you were clear about that...
Ch
you’re gone, the party is over
Tonight I'm stark raving sober
Feeling lonely, wishing that only
I had something to kill the pain
I’m a barstool poet on a saturday night
And a cottonmouth clown in the morning light
Feels like it's over, stark raving sober and starting all over again
V2:
I’ve always been the type to put adventure before advice
Tell me what I shouldn’t do and that’s the thing I’m sure to try And everyone who said there was trouble in a girl like you Only pushed me a couple steps closer to you
In a way I'm glad you left me in this state full
Of regrets and secret rooms with curtains closed
If you’d left me on the upswing I’d have had the strength for chasing you Down every darkened alleyway we’d ever known
Ch
Things don’t make any sense to me
Why do I want you so bad when you’re so bad for me Maybe if I could find you and try it just once more
It’d work out like I want it to, like it’s never ever done before.
