Sober
Intoxicating Melancholy: A Tale of Longing and Broken Sobriety
Lyrics
You bring me shelter
You provide me with protection
When it's pouring down rain
Especially during difficult times
You numb me up
You numb my emotions
When all I feel is pain
When I am overwhelmed by pain
How can I not see
Why am I unable to recognize
How beautiful you are to me
Your beauty, which is evident to me
Now I'm sitting here
Now I find myself
Counting cars
Counting cars, lost in thought
Chasing cars
Pursuing relationships
Find my way back to you
Trying to find my way back to you
It's hard to say and even harder to do
Expressing emotions is challenging
So I'll drink this Jamison
So I'll consume Jamison (whiskey)
Think of times way back when
Reflecting on times in the past
You were closer and I was sober and I needed you
When you were closer, and I was sober, needing you
Like fucking oxygen
Similar to the essential nature of oxygen
And I wish you would call
Desire for your call
And I wish I was sober
Expressing a wish to be sober
So sad it had to end
Regretful about the end of something
So sad that it's over
Expressing sorrow for its conclusion
Right now I'm faded as fuck
Currently heavily intoxicated
She put some drink in my cup
Someone has added a drink to my cup
And I don't think I'm coming home tonight
Uncertain about returning home tonight
I wish you would call
Desire for your call (repeated)
And I wish I was
Expressing a wish to be
Sober it's over a travesty
Reflecting on sobriety being over, a tragedy
A beautiful whirlwind of tragedy
A beautiful but tragic experience
You're my queen a true majesty
You are like a queen, a true majesty
And I'm just a jester lost in the melody
While I feel like a lost jester in the music
And I wish you would call
Desire for your call (repeated)
And I wish I was sober
Expressing a wish to be sober (repeated)
So sad it had to end
Regretful about the end of something (repeated)
So sad that it's over
Expressing sorrow for its conclusion (repeated)
Right now I'm faded as fuck
Currently heavily intoxicated (repeated)
She put some drink in my cup
Someone has added a drink to my cup (repeated)
And I don't think I'm coming home tonight
Uncertain about returning home tonight (repeated)
I wish you would call
Desire for your call (repeated)
And I wish I was Sober
Expressing a wish to be sober (repeated)
Don't know why I'm not sober
Expressing confusion about not being sober
I don't know why I keep looking over my shoulder just waiting for you
Uncertain why constantly looking back and waiting for you
To show up back into my life
Hoping for your return to my life
Now it's broken
Now it's irreparably damaged
Oh god it's so broken
The situation is severely damaged
I can't feel the pain anymore
No longer feeling the pain
It's the same old song
Repetition of the same sad song
Same old thing that's we made it
The same old thing that we endured
Sober why am I not sober
Questioning why sobriety eludes
Why is this not over
Questioning why the situation persists
This is the same old thing
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of the situation
It's the same old thing
Highlighting the familiar nature of the circumstance
It's the same old thing
Reiteration of the same old thing
