Drunk and Weepy

from Yestermorrow by Jim Higgins

lyrics

Can’t keep the here and now in my head
So I wake up nostalgia
Put tomorrow to bed
Rewinding to the innocent start
Watching over and over
My favorite parts

We were once
Maybe once in a while
But we had us a moment
And I can’t help but smile

Now it’s got me

Drunk and weepy
And wishing I was twenty-two again
A full head of hair
A flat stomach
A muscle or two again

Can’t keep a sober thought in my head
‘Cause there’s ninety-nine bottles
Ninety-eight of them dead
The old lemon, sold it off for a buck
Now, the new car runs fine
But I’m locked in the trunk

And I’m still spinning
Paper plates in the wind
Trying to fend off adulthood
And call it a win

But it’s got me

Drunk and weepy
And wishing I was twenty-two again
Drunk and weepy
And crying out for my youth again

Couldn’t find my way back home
But what’s the fun in going to sleep
It turns out that last wrong turn
Left me forever lost in the streets
Now I’m begging mercifully at your feet
For a redo or three
But I can’t go back

And it’s got me…
