Wishful Drinking…
Separate me from the rest of the herd so
I can run away from all of my hurt, oh
Drink what I want
Be what I want
Say what you want me to say, like
I can pretend that I don’t want to end I’m afraid
(I’m dangerous)
Weave a story so I don’t have to talk, no
It’s not a problem if I never get caught, oh
Drink what I want
Be what I want
Say what you want me to say, like
I can pretend that I don’t want to end I’m afraid
(I’m dangerous)
Oh, wishful drinking
Tell myself that I’m not thinking ‘bout
How I could drown, drown, drown, drown
Wishful drinking now
(Hey)
Wishful drinking
Go ahead and stop your thinking now
And throw it down, down, down, down
Wishful drinking now
(Ahhh)
Hide your demons where no one can see ‘em
Out of sight but in your mind you believe them
Drink what you want
Be what you want
Say what they want you to say, like
I can pretend that I don’t want to end I’m afraid
(Ahhh)
Do you think, do you think that they notice?
I keep a bottle by my bed, it’s the focus
Drink what I want
Be what I want
Say what they want you to say, like
I can pretend that I don’t want to end I’m afraid
(I’m dangerous)
Oh, wishful drinking
Tell myself that I’m not thinking ‘bout
How I could drown, drown, drown, drown
Wishful drinking now
Wishful drinking
Go ahead and stop your thinking now
And throw it down, down, down, down
Wishful drinking now
This is not a problem if I don’t want it to stop
Can’t call it a problem if I never let a plate drop
This is not a problem if convincing that it’s not
Don’t call it a problem, it’s the only thing that I still got
Hey, oh, hey, oh no
Down, down, down,
Wishful drinking now
Oh, wishful drinking
Tell myself that I’m not thinking ‘bout
How I could drown, drown, drown, drown
Wishful drinking now
Wishful drinking
Go ahead and stop your thinking now
And throw it down, down, down, down
Wishful drinking now
