In the midst of chaos and self-deprecation, a plea for understanding emerges. The song's protagonist acknowledges his mistakes and destructive behavior, often fueled by alcohol, symbolized by references to waking up in the rain and getting into fights. He compares himself to a dandelion - common and easily dismissed - while viewing his partner as a four-leaf clover - rare and lucky. Despite recognizing his flaws, he yearns for another chance when he's sober, hoping to communicate clearly without the influence of alcohol. The repeated "na na na" could signify an attempt to drown out negative thoughts or regrets. Thus, this song paints a raw picture of struggle with addiction and the desire for redemption in relationships affected by it.
Sober
Lyrics
I know I messed up and it might be over
But let me call you when I'm sober
I'm a dandelion, you're a four-leaf clover
But let me call you when I'm sober
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
I woke up in the pouring rain
West Side Humboldt 7am
Sleeping by a dumpster to keep me dry
With the radio on and a new black eye
Because I bet you couldn't knock me out
And I guess you, you really got me now
Black sedan ran a red light
Just a drunken bike messenger on Tuesday night
I know I messed up and it might be over
But let me call you when I'm sober
I'm a dandelion, you're a four-leaf clover
But let me call you when I'm sober
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na (when I'm sober)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na (when I'm sober)
She undressed and we stumbled downstairs
Fell onto the table as the neighbors just stared
We laughed out loud and smashed their lights
Digging with our hands in the dirt outside
And she dragged me to the edge of town
And she slapped me then she pulled me down
I can do bad and you can do better
Spending all night getting lost together
I know I messed up and it might be over
But let me call you when I'm sober
I'm a dandelion, you're a four-leaf clover
But let me call you when I'm sober
Sober
Sober
I know I messed up and it might be over
But let me call you when I'm sober
I'm a dandelion, you're a four-leaf clover
But let me call you when I'm sober
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na (when I'm sober)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na (when I'm sober)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na (when I'm sober)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na (when I'm sober)
