I'll Look Good When I'm Sober

Been thinking about you a lot more than I should
Caught my finger slipping up the same page of my telephone book
So just hear me out, or let me in
Signing the guest lists
Places we've been
Hoping 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
I took on the chin
Blood on a jumper
Tuck your shirt in
Hopefully don't need you, but comfort in pretending that I do

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 a phone call's not the same
(But a phone call's not the same)

(—naht ssel truh dluow hcnup a kniht I)
(siht naht ssel truh dluow hcnup a kniht I)

So just hear me out, or let me in
I miss the hangnails, pits of your skin
Those eyes of hers, looking at him
I think a punch would hurt less than this
Bathed 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 pillows of steel, pressed before my tongue
Would love if it were 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?
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)
Always end up at your door
(I'll look good when I'm sober)
Tell me what does your heart say
Would you listen anyway?
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)
Always end up at your door
