Better When I'm Drinking
Embracing Liberation: A Toast to Healing Through Whiskey Nights
Lyrics
Out with my friends on a Friday night
Enjoying a Friday night out with friends.
He's sitting to my left so I look to the right
Noticing someone next to her and checking surroundings.
Walk to the bar and buy another round
Going to the bar to buy another round of drinks.
Here he comes walking up, heart is beating loud
The person of interest is approaching, creating excitement.
I can hear all the girls' voices in my head
Hearing advice or doubts from other girls.
Saying "gotta get back out there and try again"
Internal thoughts urging her to get back into dating.
Maybe I'm ready, it's been 7 months
Considering readiness after a seven-month break.
So I grab the glass and chase a buzz, cause
Choosing to drink to relax and enhance the experience.
I'm better when I'm drinking
Expressing a belief that she is more fun or comfortable when drinking.
Don't wanna be too sober
Preference for avoiding complete sobriety.
When I'm taking that chance
Being willing to take risks despite potential negative consequences.
And risking the hangover
Acknowledging the risks of a hangover but accepting them.
One or two shots and I'm falling all over again
After a few drinks, finding herself in a carefree or lighthearted state.
And it sinks in, I'm better when I'm drinking
Realizing that she feels better when she's drinking.
Now I'm starting to stop being so closed-off
Opening up and becoming less reserved.
And he's making me laugh, and it's making me talk
Enjoying the company, laughter, and conversation.
We go on for hours, it's true what they say
Confirming the positive impact of a little alcohol on mood.
A little bit really does chase away the pain
Acknowledging that a small amount of alcohol alleviates pain.
I'm better when I'm drinking
Reiterating the belief that she's better when drinking.
Don't wanna be too sober
Emphasizing the aversion to being overly sober.
Cause when I'm overthinking
Not wanting to overthink things when sober.
Don't wanna start all over
Avoiding the restart of negative thoughts and emotions.
One or two shots and I'm falling all over again
Experiencing a loss of inhibition after a few shots.
And it sinks in, I'm better when I'm drinking
Confirming the positive impact of drinking on her mood.
Cheers to the whiskey and goodbye to this heartbreak and the past
Toasting to whiskey symbolizes leaving behind heartbreak and the past.
Here's to the future and maybe this time I can make it last
Expressing hope for a better future and longer-lasting relationships.
I'm better when I'm drinking
Reiterating the belief that she's better when drinking.
Don't wanna be too sober
Consistently preferring a moderate level of inebriation.
When I'm taking that chance
Willing to take risks even with potential hangovers.
And risking the hangover
Acknowledging the potential negative consequences of taking chances.
One or two shots just to help me to take off the edge
Using alcohol to ease the discomfort or nervousness of new experiences.
Oh, one or two shots and I'm falling all over again
Experiencing a loss of inhibition and carefree behavior after a few shots.
And it sinks in, I'm better when I'm drinking
Confirming the positive impact of drinking on her mood.
I'm better when I'm drinking
Final confirmation of feeling better when drinking.
