lyrics

I went sober
And you didn’t
but I can’t judge you for it, because
We all have to pass our time, somehow

Here on earth
In whatever way
We might choose
Awake or wasted

In love or alone
Fighting our demons
Or creating new ones
That we think we can manage

I don’t know what that buys you
And I’ve certainly squandered
All my own potential
The same as you

In spite of the raving dreams
We’d bluster out
While stumbling drunk
Down dark city streets

Between the bars
And liquor stores
And the adventures
On the edge of sanity

Trying to get away
From this messed up world
By being more messed up
Ourselves inside, until

I went sober
And you didn’t
But I can’t judge you
We all have to pass our time, somehow

I have The Book of Fools
You gave me once
With the inscription
Fools are we all

And fools we’ll always be
But somehow, I thought
We’d still be friends
Even if I was sober

But when I got on that plane
And left you in Amsterdam
And said goodbye
I didn’t know what I would find

I needed to follow
My own roads
Away from the past
And all those struggles

But I still don’t know
What I was hoping for
Because I never found it
And maybe that’s why

We can’t carry
That much baggage
When we have to go
