Drunken Waltz

Telling the time isn't something I'm good at
It's either 2:30 or 5
'Cause when I'm having a good night
I can only recall I'm alive
I've never heard of a curfew
Not in the city that never sleeps
Didn't really mean to curve you
I'm just trying to focus on me
When the sun goes down
The streets get a little too loud
But I hear the harmonies
Under the cars and breeze
Run through the cobblestone streets
I think the car is called
But I'm drowning in alcohol
Tennessee whiskey
Do you even miss me
At least I am too drunk to cry
Skip in my step or perhaps a stumble
Either way, I'm getting home
14th street traffic dies down after rush hour
Though I'm not sure if I should be alone
Don't know where we came from
Or what we did
But by morning I might reconvene
It's all your fault for
Making me feel like
I gotta do this to be seen
And when the sun goes down
The streets get a little too loud
But I hear the banter
The questions and answers
From strangers that I'll never meet
Got about 20 missed calls
And I'm drowning in alcohol
Please pour the gin
So I erase the sins
I committed just to forget you're alive
My pockets may hurt
But my heart hurts worse
Remembering the things that you said
My eyes play a blur
And I'm slurring my words
But it's better than sitting in bed
I got all my friends
To tie my loose ends
But I left out a string or two
'Cause after the vodka
I've still got a problem
I just can't stop thinking of you
Oh, when the sun goes down
The streets get a little too loud
But I hate the silence
Too quiet too violent
So maybe I'll just try to scream
So many bottles and cans
