I Drink Wine lyrics

How can one become so bounded

by choices that somebody else makes?

How come 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 ideals in our heads

to corrupt our hearts 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

And yet I don't know anybody

who's truly satisfied

You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)

To keep climbing (Climbing, 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 I can find something I can cling onto

'Cause I need some substance in my life,

something real, something that feels true

You better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)

High tides (High tides, high tides)

Want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop trying to be somebody else

Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free

'Cause everybody wants something from me, 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

I hope in time we both will find peace of mind

Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind

So I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop trying to be somebody else

Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah

'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me

You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)

To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)

But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
