I Drank You That Way
Punch-drunk and sober
A freak and a fraud
A geek Casanova with
Witty dialog
and it was so damn easy
for my Leia in a gold bikini
you thought you knew me
sweet and quirky and a little dull
I just wanted to drink me better
I just wanted to dim the lights
I wanted to be that strip-club cowboy
But I wanted to be in love
Passed out and greasy
On my kitchen floor
Piss, puke and methane
And an open door
A coffee table broke in half
You just dragged me to the bath
the more you knew me
I was so phony and so controlled
I wanted to drink you better
Black out the things I said
Dilute the blame and sorries
I didn't want you to go.
Punch-drunk and staggered
A sixer times three
I shouted all the things that
Weren't wrong with me
But I tried to take your keys
because I didn't want you to leave me
You saw right through me
Petty, weak, and empty-skulled
I just wanted to drink us better
A few bottles to make it right
But then I hit you to try to keep you
I lost it when booze came to shove
And you left.
