I'll Look Good When I'm Sober

I've been thinking about you a lot more than I should

I've caught my finger slipping up the same page of my telephone book

But just hear me out, or let me in

Signing the guest list, places we've been

I'm hoping with a soft spot

That there's a chance of bumping into you

Tell me, what does your heart say, would you listen anyway?

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me, what have you got when you gave it all away?

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Still mingling with bouncers, unhappy where I'm stood

Feeling like I miss the way you kiss me, mimic your lips with a sharp left hook

So I look to her, took on the chin

Blood on a jumper, tuck your shirt in

Hopefully don't need you

But comfort in pretending that I do, whoa

Tell me, what does your heart say, would you listen anyway?

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me, what have you got when you gave it all away?

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

And you know just what to say

And you know just what to say

That the phone call's not the same

That the phone call's not the same

So just hear me out, or let me in

I miss the hangnails, pits of your skin

Those eyes of hers, looking at him

I think a punch would hurt less than this

Bathed under an ocean, of turgid hotel lights

The gasping of attention, the rolling of your eyes

Oh, don't make me go

I could be so much better

Could be what you want

Cold pillows of steel pressed before my tongue

Would love if it were your lips

Would settle for a gun

Tell me, what does your heart say, would you listen anyway?

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me, what have you got when you gave it all away?

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me what does your heart say, would you listen anyway?

I'll look good when I'm sober

I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

When the evenings run it's course, I always end up at your door

I'll look good when I'm sober

Look good when I'm sober

Tell me what does your heart say, would you listen anyway?

I'll look good when I'm sober

But I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

When the evenings run it's course, I always end up at your door

I'll look good when I'm sober
