When I Drink
The Avett Brothers
Letra

When i drink
I say things i don't want to say
I do things i don't wanna do
I talk mean to you
But if i think
I just might get something out of this
My parents taught me to learn when i miss
Just do your best
Just do your best

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe i don't have to be good but i can try to be
At least a little better than i've been so far

But when i drink
I hear things that aren't really there
I feel things when i shouldn't really care
Have fist fights with the air
But if i think about someone besides myself
I lived through the silver and the bell
With something to tell
Just do your best

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe i don't have to be good but i can try to be
At least a little better than i've been so far

But when i drink
I spend the next morning in a haze
But we only get so many days
Now i have one less
Just do your best

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe i don't have to be good but i can try to be
At least a little better than i've been so far
Oh, at least a little better than i've been so far
