Under The Influence

V1.

We’ve been fast friends since I found you

In that dive bar in my youth

We’ve had so many good times

Now I finally see the truth

You’ve hurt me and the ones I love

So I need to take a breather

I should have quit you long ago

‘cos I don’t trust drunk me either

Chorus

Living life under the influence

I can finally place the blame

The pleasure that you gave me

Is far outweighed by pain

The damage and destruction caused

Is finally making sense

Today I push your drink away

No more life under the influence

V2.

I’m taking off this drinking mask

That completely clouds my vision

You tempt my curiosities

And lead me to bad decisions

All the highs and lows and hangovers

I’ve endured in the name of fun

I wouldn’t do if I were sober

I’ve grown too tired to run.

Chorus

Living life under the influence

I can finally place the blame

The pleasure that you gave me

Is far outweighed by pain

The damage and destruction caused

Is finally making sense

Today I push your drink away

No more life under the influence

Bridge

The decision isn’t easy

But I finally see the signs

Time to let go of your handle

And start walking a straighter line

Chorus

Living life under the influence

I can finally place the blame

The pleasure that you gave me

Is far outweighed by pain

The damage and destruction caused

Is finally making sense

Today I push your drink away

No more life under the influence
