Sober Life
Embracing Redemption: Hot Left Pole's Journey to a Sober Life
Lyrics
I'll paint a picture
I'll express my feelings or thoughts creatively.
And you can write a song
You can capture those expressions through a song.
We'll make a list of all the ways we went wrong
We'll reflect on our mistakes and compile a list of them.
And if you catch me lying
If I'm dishonest, acknowledge that there's truth in what I say.
Just know this is true
Despite any lies, understand my genuine desire.
All I ever wanted was you
My ultimate desire was for you.
I looked for the right words
I searched for the right words to express myself.
All I could ever find
But all I found were ways to say goodbye.
Were different ways of saying goodbye
Reflecting on mistakes, parting seemed inevitable.
And I remember thinking
While leaving, I had second thoughts.
As I walked away
Walking away, I wished to stay.
I only ever wanted to stay
My intention was to remain with you.
But I think I did something wrong
I acknowledge wrongdoing on my part.
I think I left you for far too long
I fear I abandoned you for too long.
So if you find me sleeping
If you discover me lost in slumber,
Shake me awake
Wake me up; I've dreamt enough.
I've had as much dreaming as one man take
I've had my fill of dreaming; it's time to face reality.
Always indecisive
I've been uncertain, but now I've made a decision.
But I've changed my mind
I'm leaving behind all the wrong things.
I'm leaving all the right things behind
I've made the right choices in leaving.
And I think I've done something right
I believe I've taken a positive step.
I think I've conquered the sober life
I feel I've successfully embraced a sober lifestyle.
So I'll paint a picture
Reiteration of expressing feelings through art.
And you can write a song
Reiteration of capturing emotions through a song.
We'll make a list of all the ways we went wrong
Repeating the reflection on past mistakes.
And if you catch me lying
If caught lying, acknowledge the underlying truth.
Just know this is true
Despite any lies, reiterate the genuine desire for you.
All I ever wanted was you
The ultimate and consistent desire is for you.
