chris orrick - gin & tonic lyrics

[intro]
and she said would it be alright
if i got a rum & c-ke
i said baby for tonight let’s pretend that we’re not broke
sick of living in tomorrow, should be living in the here
she whispered something in my ear and said

[verse 1]
i don’t see what the big deal is
rum & c-kes aren’t that expensive
plus i’m paying for the drinks
and we’ve been living codependent
we haven’t left that couch in seven months
made a date with divinity, but she wouldn’t make me lunch
i was in boise on a tuesday when i really saw the future
and i realized at that moment i had always been a loser
look what the world did?
f-ck it, look what i’ve done to me
all i do is drink and eat
lay around and f-cking sleep
but hey, that’s okay
not sure i’ll see another day
it’s like, that’s alright
there’s probably not another life
so i use that immaturity to cloud my insecurities
and walk around pretending i’m not afraid of uncertainty
my actions tell me i don’t wanna be alive
but really i’m a little kid who’s still afraid to die

[chorus]
all i want is to be happy in this life i got
and lord i try, but i don’t truly know if i can stop
if i would die for them, then i should live for them
if i would die for them, then i should live

[verse 2]
i used to stay up late at night
thinking ’bout my songs
now i fall asleep early from drinking all day long
i used to hate the feeling of a friday night alone
but now i’m too embarr-ssed of the person i have grown
this song’s the only person that i’ll tell
’cause there ain’t no going back
once you tell them you need some help
i spent every dollar that could be spent
now i just wonder where the good me went
so be good to one another
tell my girl i love her
find a little peace in knowing that i didn’t suffer
this world is full of beauty
this world is for the lovers
remind of the feeling of a childhood summer
remind me of the time before when all i did was wonder
the world was still a mystery to me to be discovered
because i don’t wanna die
lord, i don’t wanna die
no i don’t wanna die

[bridge]
it goes one shot of seagram’s gin
two parts of diet tonic
three’s not a lucky charm
four times i’ve tried to stop it
fifth step’s the hardest
’cause six is a lie
when seven days a week you’re feeling like you wanna die
there’s eight people that i love
nine times i’ve made amends
ten years ago i never thought this’d be the way it ends
and eleven times for rest
and twelve for the month that i climbed into this mess

[outro]
i just want kath to be happy
i want my father to be happy
i want my brothers to be happy
i want my friends to be happy
my generation to be happy
for mello to be happy
ill poetic and charlie to be happy
and maybe i can find some happiness
