lyrics

To love you is to be hooked on the bottle:
I can leave you, still I crave you all the time.
I brandish your memories like my shiney one year coin:
Always close at hand,
Although they sting each time they graze my fingertips.

My mind tells me that I’m better off,
But won’t relinquish those old artifacts of you.
Stashed away neatly, but still with in reach,
I’m always on the verge
Of a relapse.

Though I’ve been losing faith in those
Twelve steps with which most addicts are engrossed,
I just might
Crawl back up them again
If it would rid me of your ghost.
I’d crawl back up them again
It it would rid me of your ghost.

The evidence which stood against this drunk
Was as incriminating as the smoking gun.
Memories with the bottle aren’t so fond, after all.
I was always blacking out
And letting myself down.

So it’s easier to stay sober than believe
I’ll never make another memory with you.
In spite of all of the reasons I left,
There were still reasons to stay,
And, just maybe, we both changed.

Though I’ve been losing faith in those
Twelve steps with which most addicts are engrossed,
I just might
Crawl back up them again
If it would rid me of your ghost.
I’d crawl back up them again
It it would rid me of your ghost.
