Frank Turner - The Next Round lyrics

rate me

I drink because I'm thirsty

I drink because I'm dry

I'm not yet quite 30

But I feel like I'm dying

I drink because I want to, I need to, because I don't know what else to do

with my time

I wont say it but you can see it in my eyes

you drink because you're lonely

You drink because you are sad

You always claim every party

was the best time you've ever had

you drink because you're scared of a life of living off your own company

You won't say it but I can see it in your eyes

Of all of the things I could become

a lonely drunkard isn't one

for which I would have wished

When I was young

I drink because I've drunk my days away

I tried to live like Hemingway

but life doesn't work that way

the pills don't kill the pain.

They just delay

We drink because we're scared that

if we should stop

the good times will go away

but the bad times will not

What if it's over and we're sober and we still feel like we are fixing to die

what then?

Don't say it because I can see it in your eyes.

Next round is on me.<br />
