Pull the ashtray closer
I'm begging for the closure
I'm begging for a light
Though I quit last night
I take the train to Brooklyn
You ask me what I'm doing
Have I had too much?
I always push my luck
I'm on my way to love
Someone I don't love
Someone I don't trust
But I can't get enough
I can't get enough
She says I'm hurting
And that's why I hurt them
I should be thankful
I'm so ungrateful, I'm so unkind
But I'm alright
Oh, I'm alright
Pull that body closer
I'm getting far from sober
Not like I was that night
I've grown up this time
I'm on my way back home
But it don't feel like home
Feelings I don't show
But I can't let them go
I can't let them go
She says I'm hurting
And that's why I hurt them
I should be thankful
I'm so ungrateful, I'm so unkind
But I'm alright
Oh, I'm alright
When I show up late
Make the same mistakes
Swear that I won't, I will again
When I'm out all night
Tell another lie
Please believe that I'll be alright again
Pull the ashtray closer
I'm begging for the closure
I'm begging for a light
Though I quit last night again
