Bartees Strange - Sober Lyrics

I did a backbend when I saw you
You were floating across us
You had a whole vibe, none could have taught it
At the end of the world

So when you know, when you know it's right
When a day becomes your whole life
I'm standing here in between the lines
Guess I've never had a guiding light

Hmm
That's why it's hard to be sober

Thin talk when I saw you
It takes some time to get honest
Tough calls when you're novice
At the end of the world
Yes, all men, crooks and robbers
And still, nobody stopped us
A hard truth when she needs softness
At the end of the world

So when you know, when you know it's right
When a day becomes your whole life
I'm standing here, in between the lines
Guess I've never had a guiding light

That's why it's hard to be sober
That's why it's hard to be sober
That's why it's hard to be sober

I live life on two planes
And most days they're both delayed
Missing all your phone calls
I just want to go away
When you're not near me
Every song's a throwaway
Reminds me of my through lines
Some curses just generate
Our difference is astounding
Running out of things to say
I'm just trying to show love
Scared of being cliché
Sometimes I miss the boat
Sometimes I make mistakes
Texting that I'm on my way
Know that you don't wanna wait

So when you know, when you know it's right
When a day becomes your whole life
I'm standing here, in between the lines
Guess I've never had a guiding light

That's why it's hard to be sober
That's why it's hard to be sober

That's why it's hard to be sober
