Drink up, I wanna say it right but,
I fuck up every time, just,
Need to slow it down.
I’m drinking, watch me while I’m sinking,
Tell me that you’re listening,
I know it’s past you now.
I talk slowly so you’ll know these,
Words fall closely from my mouth.
But you don’t notice in that moment,
My breath choking on what’s been coming out.
I wake up, I don’t forget it,
I could do without your lessons,
Told me how you’re so much better,
That’s what’s going on.
Morning after I’ll be hanging,
Hear it now and you’re still laughing,
Told you once but this still happens,
That’s what’s going on.
I’m just hanging on.
It goes cold, our situation gets old,
I like to lose self control,
Now it just brings me down.
So, I need this, I need to know we’re breathing,
Give me something, feel this,
Heart is beating loud.
I talk slowly, so you’ll know these,
Words fall closely from my mouth.
But you don’t notice, in that moment,
My breath choking on what’s been coming out.
I wake up, I don’t forget it,
I could do without your lessons,
Told me how you’re so much better,
That’s what’s going on.
Morning after, I’ll be hanging,
Hear it now and you’re still laughing,
Told you once but this still happens,
That’s what’s going on.
I’m just hanging on.
Tell me something, is it nothing?
I keep loving on and on.
If it’s one thing or it wasn’t,
I keep loving on and on.
In that moment you don’t notice.
I wake up, I don’t forget it,
I could do without your lessons,
Told me how you’re so much better,
That’s what’s going on.
Morning after, I’ll be hanging,
Hear it now and you’re still laughing,
Told you once but this still happens,
That’s what’s going on.
I’m just hanging on, on,
I’m just hanging on.
