"Drink More Often"

There is a wall
between me, and what I feel
- it's high and it's wide
There's things about me
that you should know are real
- all on the other side
I could not break through or help you
climb over top
you thought I was uninvolved
but then, it just - dissolved

I should drink more
often
I can't tell you,
all the things I'd say
I should drink more
often
- inhibition,
get out of my way
I should drink more,
often
- give you my heart,
subtracting my mind
and then your heart
would soften
- 'cause you'd finally see
how much I keep
inside.

I hate to think
of the opportunities
that I've let slip by
just because I could never
make you see
what was in my eyes
I know you're no mind-reader, and
hey, who is?
You thought I was a closed book
but now - it's open
take a look

I should drink more
often
I can't tell you,
all the things I'd say
I should drink more
often
- inhibition,
get out of my way
I should drink more,
often
- give you my heart,
subtracting my mind
and then your heart
would soften
- 'cause you'd finally see
how much I keep
inside.

I know it isn't
the healthiest view on life
yeah, I'm aware of it
but darling if I lose you
'cause I can't speak up,
then life ain't worth
shit, I weave a curtain of words
to hide behind
- but they were just meaningless
until you unlocked my lips


I should drink more
often
I can't tell you,
all the things I'd say
I should drink more
often
- inhibition,
get out of my way
I should drink more,
often
- give you my heart,
subtracting my mind
and then your heart
would soften
- 'cause you'd finally see
how much I keep
inside.
