like someone turned off a lightswitch, parallel to the floor
o, baby that's me on your sofa @ 3 am, maybe 4
but i don't call this an addiction, crack open another beer
after my aching head wakes me up and i wonder how i got here
(i wonder how i got here)
then i leave a note thanking you for the bed
apologizing for shit i might've said
sneak to the elevator and wait for the subway home, face is red
(face is red)
rewind to my first couple High Lifes, we're talking, we're laughing, sure
i soak up the rays from your smiling face, and drink faster than before
(faster than before)
like someone turned off a lightswitch, face down on your hardwood floor
'cause i was on my way to that nervous state when i'd tell you, i adore you
(tell you i adore you)
but would you pull away from me then
would you push me out of your bed
will we be just fine if i bide my time, make a fool of myself instead
(make a fool of myself instead)
i guess you win some, you lose some, i usually lose my mind
o, baby lets party all night every night, save regret for the morning time
(save regret for the morning time)
like someone turned off a lightswitch
like someone turned off a lightswitch
like someone turned off a lightswitch
