lyrics

Why do I say I love you
Is it to hear that you love me too
When I'm all around you
There ain't nothing that I can't do

I see you with your lovers
Do they know that you're around
Did they take you to the skies tonight
did they leave you lying flat on the ground

Trying to get off these city streets
I keep getting drawn back to you
Romanced so many
Why with you am I always the fool

Maybe that's all I am
I just don't know
Maybe I should just walk away
Like some other
Fools you have . . .

When your lips curl and you twirl your hair
I forget others are in the room
Empty bottles and worn out scenes
Did we even make it to the end of June?

I'm thinking bout you all the time
So much that it rattles my brain
Drink myself to another place
Where you show up and you sober me up
Again and again

I'm thinking bout you all the time
So much that it rattles my brain
Drink myself to another place
Where you show up and you sober me up
Again and again

Yeah, you show up and you sober me up
Again and again

Yeah, you show up and you sober me up
Again and again

Yeah, you show up and you sober me up
Again and again

Sober me, sober me, sober me
