The chorus, expressing a yearning to be sober, underscores a deep sense of regret and helplessness. Despite recognizing the damage caused ("the best of me left hours ago"), there remains an underlying determination not to give up entirely. This song serves as a raw and honest portrayal of the emotional turmoil faced by those grappling with substance abuse, capturing both their despair and their enduring hope for recovery.
I Wish I Was Sober
Lyrics
Fall prey to the blizzard head
Wrapped my hand around the glass again
We all thought that I might change as I got older
Fell down and nothing bled
Wrapped in cotton alcohol again
To the hilt I hear from the prick upon my shoulder
Free pour the fruitless thoughts
It's far too late to talk so much but
Still not giving up though
I wish that I was sober
Forgive me I can't speak straight
Forgive me I can't
Forgive me it's far too late
Choke down the gateway drug
Opened the gates, in came the flood, it comes
Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning
Long nights of getting lost
I walk beneath the bridge I don't know
I need a black suit for tomorrow, I'm in mourning
My love you should know
The best of me left hours ago so
Shove a rag into my mouth and let me smolder
Fallout and the damage done
I can't un-sing the things I've sung
Still not giving up though
I wish that I was sober
Forgive me I can't speak straight
Forgive me I can't
Forgive me it's far too late
Oh, come and shake me till I'm dry (Oh)
Oh, I wish that I was sober
Oh, come to me and kill the night off (Oh)
I wish that I was sober
Oh, come and shake me till I'm dry (Oh)
Oh, I wish that I was sober
Oh, come to me and kill the night off (Oh)
I wish that I was sober
