Bye Bye Drunken Nights

[Verse 1]
I can't believe I thought it smart
Vodka
Gin
Vermouth and cola in one glass
Thought I heard my liver sob
Somewhere between the laugh and the last
Woke up wearing last night’s shoes
Makeup on the pillow
Phone gone
Keys in the sink
Kitchen spinning
Heart still racing
Mouth like cotton
Brain can't think

[Chorus]
So bye
Bye to all those drunken nights
To the big dread of the bad head and the fear of bright lights
Those hangovers from mixing whiskey and wine
Thinking this will be the day that I die die, die
You called out to God above
And gave the toilet bowl a hug

[Verse 2]
Swore I'd only have "one drink"
Cut to me karaoke
Standing on a chair
Lost my jacket
Lost my debit card
Found a stranger crying in my hair
Now it’s herbal tea at nine
Screens on dim
I'm reading plans instead of signs
Friends say I’ve gone all tame
But I remember when I couldn’t say my own name

[Chorus]
So bye
Bye to all those drunken nights
To the big dread of the bad head and the fear of bright lights
Those hangovers from mixing whiskey and wine
Thinking this will be the day that I die die, die

[Bridge]
Now my Sunday starts at sunrise
Not at three p.m. in shades
I trade shots for silly board games
I trade shame for better days

[Chorus]
Bye Bye Bye to all those drunken nights
Bye Bye to all those drunken nights
