figures (drink every night) - wesley preis lyrics
[verse 1]
well, i figured you’d leave me
and it figures that i’m right
know it’s “mercy”, baby
it’s just so much worse at night
and on weekends, and at parties
where i have to be polite
and especially in winter
figures, now it’s winter all the time
well, you wanted something honest
but i never really know
what to lead with, so i leave and
make an angel in the snow
and i pray you’ll lay beside me
like you would a year ago
oh, you wanted something honеst
well, i’ll say it really simple or rеally slow
[chorus]
i still love you, i still drink every night
i’m still sending out a flare with every song that i write
i still swear that i see you in the mid*morning light
but i don’t, and it’s fine
i get up early just to work it around
i read poems never knowing what they’re even about
i remember what you told me, half asleep on my couch
you said “baby, i love you, but you’re bringing me down”
[verse 2]
well, i said “i love america”
and you thought i meant the band
oh, i gave you so much, baby
that you’d never understand
figures you’d get what you wanted
figures i’d get left behind
i’ve been one poor correspondent
i’ve been too, too, too, too, too, too hard to find
hard to find
[chorus]
but i still love you, i still drink every night
i’m still sending out a flare with every song that i write
i still swear that i see you in the mid*morning light
but i don’t, i just don’t
i get up early just to work it around
i read poems never knowing what they’re even about
i remember what you told me, half asleep on my couch
you said “baby, i love you, but you bring me down”
i get up early just to talk myself down
i’m still terrified whenever i can feel you in town
and i love you and i know it’s immaterial now
but i figure i’ll get it the second time around
