"I'll Look Good When I'm Sober" lyrics

I've been thinking about you
A lot more than I should
I've caught my finger slipping up the same page
Of my telephone book

But just hear me out or let me in
Signing the guest lists, places we've been
Hoping with a soft spot
That there's a chance of bumping into you

Tell me, what does your heart say? Would you listen anyway?
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what have you got? When you gave it all away
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Still mingling with bouncers
Unhappy where I'm stood
Feeling like I miss the way you kiss me
Mimic your lips with a sharp left hook
So I look to her, took on the chin
Blood on a jumper, tuck your shirt in
Well hopefully don't need you
But comforting pretending that I do, whoa

Tell me, what does your heart say? Would you listen anyway?
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what have you got? When you gave it all away
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

And you know just what to say
(And you know just what to say)
But the phonecall's not the same
(But the phonecall's not the same)

(I like this bit
Okay)
(I think a punch would hurt less than this) [in reverse]

So just hear me out or let me in
I miss the hangnails, pits of your skin
Those eyes of hers, looking at him
I think a punch would hurt less than this
Bathe under an ocean of turgid hotel lights
The gasping of attention, the rolling of your eyes

Oh, don't make me go
I could be so much better, could be what you want
Cold pillows of steel, pressed before my tongue
Would love if it were your lips, would settle for a gun

Tell me, what does your heart say? Would you listen anyway?
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what have you got? When you gave it all away
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

Tell me, what does your heart say?
(Look good when I'm sober)
Would you listen anyway?
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
When the evening's run its course
(Look good when I'm sober)
Always end up at your door
Look good when I'm sober
Tell me, what does your heart say?
(Look good when I'm sober)
Would you listen anyway?
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
When the evening's run its course
(Look good when I'm sober)
Always end up at your door
