Whole box of smokes and alcohol
Man I was running my mouth
Walked right into a wall
As the bar was emptying out
And this is where the whole thing led
All the next day in bed
I woke up in pain still hearing the sound
Of her name in my head
Didn't want to face an empty room
Didn't waste time making my mind up
I knew the place would close at two
Where did I think that I'd wind up?
I was just putting things off
Throbbing head and a wicked cough
Whole box of smokes and alcohol
Man I was running my mouth
Walked right into a wall
As the bar was emptying out
And this is where the whole thing led
All the next day in bed
I woke up in pain still hearing the sound
Of her name in my head
You know I always miss sunrise
It's supposed to stand for something new
I hope to wake with different eyes
She's usually standing in my view
I was just wiping it clean
But in the morning she's still in my dream
Putting things off
Throbbing head and a wicked cough
Whole box of smokes and alcohol
Man I was running my mouth
Walked right into a wall
As the bar was emptying out
And this is where the whole thing led
All the next day in bed
I woke up in pain still hearing the sound
Of her name in my head
I woke up in pain still hearing the sound
Of her name in my head
