Soberish

Everyone's got a maze inside their heart

The best we can do is pick a place to start

Meet me in the lounge of the St. Regis at 5

I'll be sitting by the window, wearing white

Already told you

I'm not gonna make the same mistakes

Over and over

You can be mad if you want

I did a shot 'cause I'm terrified

I'm asking you

Tell me, why do we keep dicking around?

Waited such a long time to be with you

Now I'm chickening out

I've got so much to say

Somehow it's never the right thing

I meant to be sober

But the bar's so inviting

People are laughing and having fun

Leaning back and relaxing now the day is done

I know exactly what you must think of me

But baby, I've never been so glad to see somebody

I already told you

It was love at first sight

And that's a frightening notion

I'll hold the light

And you can read me what we owe

Come on, let's go

Tell me, why do we keep dicking around?

Waited such a long time to be with you

Now I'm chickening out

I've got so much to say

Somehow it's never the right thing

I meant to be sober

But the bar's so inviting

Why do we keep dicking around?

Waited such a long time to be with you

And here you are now

I am soberish and I can't make a sound

But I will open my arms up

And wrap them around you

I will open my arms up

And wrap them around you
