Wishful Drinking

Separate me from the rest of the herd so

I can run away from all of my hurt, oh

Drink what I want

Be what I want

Say what you want me to say, like

I can pretend that I don't want to end, I'm afraid

(I'm dangerous)

Weave a story so I don't have to talk, no

It's not a problem if I never get caught, oh

Drink what I want

Be what I want

Say what you want me to say, like

I can pretend that I don't want to end, I'm afraid

(I'm dangerous)

Oh, wishful drinking

Tell myself that I'm not thinking 'bout

How I could drown, drown, drown, drown

Wishful drinking now

Wishful drinking

Go ahead and stop your thinking now

And throw it down, down, down, down

Wishful drinking now

Hide your demons where no one can see 'em

Out of sight, but in your mind you believe them

Drink what you want

Be what they want

Say what they want you to say, like

I can pretend that I don't want to end, I'm afraid

Do you think, do you think that they notice?

I keep a bottle by my bed, it's the focus

Drink what I want

Be what I want

Say what you want you to say, like

I can pretend that I don't want to end, I'm afraid

(I'm dangerous)

Oh, wishful drinking

Tell myself that I'm not thinking 'bout

How I could drown, drown, drown, drown

Wishful drinking now

Wishful drinking

Go ahead and stop your thinking now

And throw it down, down, down, down

Wishful drinking now

This is not a problem if I don't want it to stop

Can't call it a problem if I never let a plate drop

This is not a problem if convincing that it's not

Don't call it a problem, it's the only thing that I still got

Hey, oh, hey, oh-no

Down, down, down

Wishful drinking now

Oh, wishful drinking

Tell myself that I'm not thinking 'bout

How I could drown, drown, drown, drown

Wishful drinking now

Wishful drinking

Go ahead and stop your thinking now

And throw it down, down, down, down

Wishful drinking now
