I’ll love an incurable mess ‘cause I like to tidy up
No blames and “explain it away"s, they are pouring from my cup
Rebounds always running me down like a lion on the plains
But this fate is its own escape, so I, I just stand in place
And now I find I’m waking up at sunrise, and just lying in bed
Giving myself a pep talk to survive the day lying ahead
My past is a whiskey glass tipping down a drunkard’s throat
I can’t claim I was ever ashamed when I drank the antidote
And now I find I’m waking up at sunrise, and just lying in bed
Giving myself a pep talk to survive the day lying ahead
But they make, they make no difference
When all of the colors blend into black
And if I raise the stakes and step out
Out on the ledge, you gotta pull me back
‘Cause they make, they make no difference
Feeling the levee starting to crack
And if I raise the stakes and step out
Out on the ledge, I’m never coming back
And they make, they make no difference
When all of the colors blend into black
And if I raise the stakes and step out
Out on the ledge, you gotta pull me back
You gotta pull me back
