I Drink Wine

How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes How can we both become a version of a person we don't even like we're in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down By putting ideas in our heads that corrupt our heart somehow When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind Soaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine They say to play hard you work hard find balance in the sacrifice Yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied You better believe I'm trying to keep climbing But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser So I hope I learn to get over myself Stop trying to be somebody else So we can love each other for free Everybody wants something you just want me Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know In these crazy times I hope to find something I can cling on to Cause I need some substance in my life Something real something that feels true You better believe for you I've cried high tides Cause I want you so bad but you can't fight fire with fire So I hope I learn to get over myself Stop trying to be somebody else So we can love each other for free Everybody wants something you just want me Listen I know how low I can go I give as good as I get You get the brunt of it all cause you’re all I’ve got left Oh I hope in time that both we'll find peace of mind Sometimes a road less traveled is a road best left behind So I hope I learn to get over myself Stop trying to be somebody else So we can love each other for free Everybody wants something you just want me You better believe I'm trying to keep climbing But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
