drunken waltz Lyrics

Telling the time isn't something I'm good at

It's either 2:30 or 5

'Cause when I'm having a good night

I can only recall I'm alive

I've never heard of a curfew

Not in the city that never sleeps

Didn't really mean to curve you

I'm just trying to focus on me

When the sun goes down

The streets get a little too loud

But I hear the harmonies

Under the cars and breeze

Run through the cobblestone streets

I think the car is called

But I'm drowning in alcohol

Tennessee whiskey

Do you even miss me

At least I am too drunk to cry

Skip in my step or perhaps a stumble

Either way, I'm getting home

14th street traffic dies down after rush hour

Though I'm not sure if I should be alone

Don't know where we came from

Or what we did

But by morning I might reconvene

It's all your fault for

Making me feel like

I gotta do this to be seen

And when the sun goes down

The streets get a little too loud

But I hear the banter

The questions and answers

From strangers that I'll never meet

Got about 20 missed calls

And I'm drowning in alcohol

Please pour the gin

So I erase the sins

I committed just to forget you're alive

My pockets may hurt

But my heart hurts worse

Remembering the things that you said

My eyes play a blur

And I'm slurring my words

But it's better than sitting in bed

I got all my friends

To tie my loose ends

But I left out a string or two

'Cause after the vodka

I've still got a problem

I just can't stop thinking of you

Oh, when the sun goes down

The streets get a little too loud

But I hate the silence

Too quiet too violent

So maybe I'll just try to scream

So many bottles and cans

Can't count all of them on two hands

Just one more Manhattan

To stop me from crashing

Gotta kill my brain just to survive

Walking the streets with a brand new perspective

Although I can't really see straight

If I could make sense of

C trains and called names

I could be in a better place

Floor 22 with great Hudson views

But I can't stop wondering why

My two-person bed's

Left with one lonely head

But at least I'm still too drunk to cry
