I'll Look Good When I'm Sober

I've been thinking about you
A lot more than I should
I've got my finger slipping up the same page
Of my telephone book

But just hear me out, or let me in
Signing the guest list, places we've been
I'm open with a soft spot
That there's a chance of bumping into you

Tell me, what does your heart say? Would you listen anyway?
I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what have you got, when you gave it all away?
I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober

Still mingling with bouncers
Unhappy where I'm stood
Feeling like I miss the way you kiss me
Mimic your lips with a sharp left hook

So I look to her, took on the chin
Blood on the jumper, tuck your shirt in
Well, hopefully don't need you
But comfort in pretending that I do, oh

Tell me, what does your heart say? Would you listen anyway?
I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what have you got, when you gave it all away?
I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober

And you know just what to say
(And you know just what to say)
But the phone call's not the same
(But the phone call's not the same)

Alright, next bit
-naht ssel truh dluow hcnup a kniht I

So just hear me out, or let me in
I miss the hangnails, bits of your skin
Those eyes of hers, looking at him
I think a punch would hurt less than this
Bathe under an ocean, of turgid hotel lights
The gasping of attention, the rolling of your eyes

Oh, don't make me go
I could be so much better, could be what you want
Cold pillars of steel, pressed before my tongue
Love if it was your lips, would settle for a gun

Tell me what, does your heart say? Would you listen anyway?
I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what have you got, when you gave it all away?
I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me, what does your heart say? (I'll look good when I'm sober)
Would you listen anyway?
And I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober
When the evenings run its course (I'll look good when I'm sober)
I always end up at your door
I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me, what does your heart say? (I'll look good when I'm sober)
Would you listen anyway?
And I promise you, I'll look good when I'm sober
When the evenings run its course (I'll look good when I'm sober)
I always end up at your door
