Aaron Dessner - I Wish I Was Sober lyrics

[Verse 1] Fall prey to the blizzard head Wrapped my hand around the gla** again We all thought that I might change as I got older Fell down and nothing bled Wrapped in cotton alcohol again "To the hilt!" I hear from the prick upon my shoulder Free pour the fruitless thoughts It's far too late to talk so much but Still not giving up though I wish that I was sober [Chorus] Forgive me I can't speak straight Forgive me I can't Forgive me it's far too late [Verse 2] Choke down the gateway drug Open the gates, in came the flood, it comes Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning Long nights of getting lost I walk beneath a bridge I don't know I need a black suit for tomorrow, I'm in mourning My love, you should know The best of me left hours ago, so Shove a rag into my mouth and let me smolder Fallout and the damage done I can't un-sink the things I've sunk Still not giving up, though I wish that I was sober [Chorus] [Outro x2] Oh come and shake me till I'm dry Oh I wish that I was sober Oh come to me and k** the night off I wish that I was sober
