Seconds

*Man calling* "Hey, i won't be able to make it
I've got work to do baby, i've gotta finish up some stuff
You'll be fine without me"

Empty bottles in the bathroom
Ever since last year your whole body's been away
Hennessy & shampoo
Content of the liquor getting higher everyday

Popping pills like eating candy,
Began to worry when you started seeing demons again
Instead of talking to the tv,
You started having having drinks with your imaginary friends

Birthdays, the worst days
Doing 95 miles on the highway
Kids party at the ice cream truck
You were sipping Grey Goose from a coffee cup

Close your eyes and go on holiday,
Tanqueray washes the pain away
Reality why let it happen?
You can have a drink and float away in seconds

Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds

In January when the heating went,
You were struggling, too far gone to start it up again
Middle of winter with a house ice cold
Had a roof above my head but I was missing home

You took me shopping when I wanted to,
Cause a friend of mine told me that's what fathers do
I begged you "will you let me try these?"
But in the end you placed the booze above my Nikes

Birthdays the worst days
Doing 95 miles on the highway
Kids party at the ice cream truck
You were sipping Grey Goose from a coffee cup

Close your eyes and go on holiday,
Tanqueray washes the pain away
Reality why let it happen?
You can have a drink and float away in seconds

Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds

Birthdays in the worst way
Looking at a man that I used to know
Before he, decided to let it go
AlI got left is the video
Today, Tuesday, all I really want is for you to say
That you want your little girl right next to you
and take her to the movies next Saturday
Ohhh

Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
