Gin

I was bouncing off the walls of my hotel room
With the past few weeks by night measuring risk
Through all the chaos and confusion;
Liquid courage and delusion
And this bottle is my only goodnight kiss

I scoffed at all your paths I thought were foolish
And I played that card so often I was sick
Am I still bound by all I've said?
Negative thoughts creep in my head
Foolish do what foolish will
Our swill turns into piss

If we leave ourselves hanging dry
We'll come back for the gin
If we grow tired of this foolish ship
We'll strip and dive right in
We could cheat just like the movies
When reality breathes stale
Too young to plan, too old to fail

I was undoubtedly deceptive with good reason
I was swimming with the sharks with no defense
Now the sharks have been jumped
And deception's not much fun
When it works too well and doubt's all you have left

If we leave ourselves hanging dry
We'll come back for the gin
If we grow tired of this foolish ship
We'll strip and dive right in
We could cheat just like the movies
When reality breathes stale
Too young to plan, too old to fail

With the miles racing on
In time I waive to all of my old friends
When the wagon wheels rolled on
They dragged me far from all my old friends

Too young to plan, too old to fail
