Lyrics
I wish I was sober; I wish you weren't my new drug.
A different face, I need a different taste to be thinking of.
I wish I had money, so maybe I could buy a cure.
I step off the edge of addiction's ledge and be done for sure.
Since I first met you, you've been such an angry bore.
You sit in your room, make predictions of doom, throw darts at the door.
So I retreated into this waste of time.
I prayed at your door, and I started a war in my mind.
Now oh, oh, I wish I was sober;
Oh ya, I wish I was sober.
I wish I was smarter; I wish I was more prepared.
I wish I could see what it means to be me without you standing there.
I wish I was sober, then I might find my way.
If I can resist the temptation of this I'll be sober someday.
Now oh, oh, I wish I was sober.
Oh oh, I wish I was sober. (Let me go; let me be free)
