maddox - drunken waltz lyrics

[intro]
hmm, mm
hmmm

[verse 1]
telling the time isn’t something i’m good at
it’s either 2:30 or 5
‘cuz when i’m having a good night
i can only recall i’m alive
i’ve never heard of a curfew
not in the city that never sleeps
didn’t really mean to curve you
i’m just trying to focus on me
[chorus]
when the sun goes down
the streets get a little too loud
but i hear the harmonies
under the cars and breeze
run through the cobblestone streets
i think the car is called
but i’m drowning in alcohol
tennessee whiskey, do you even miss me?
at least i am too drunk to cry

[verse 2]
skip in my step or perhaps a stumble
either way i’m getting home
14th street traffic dies down after rush hour
though i’m not sure if i should be alone
(i’m sorry, i just can’t be alone right now)
don’t know where we came from or what we did
but by morning i might reconvene
it’s all your fault for making me feel like
i gotta do this to be seen (gotta do this to be seen)

[chorus]
and when the sun goes down
the streets get a little too loud
but i hear the banter
the questions and answers
from strangers that i’ll never meet
got about 20 missed calls
and i’m drowning in alcohol
please pour the gin so i erase the sins
i committed just to forget you’re alive
[bridge]
my pockets may hurt but my heart hurts worse
remembering the things that you said
my eyes play a blur and i’m slurring my words
but it’s better than sitting in bed
i got all my friends to tie my loose ends
but i left out a string or two
‘cuz after the vodka i’ve still got a problem
i just can’t stop thinking of you

[chorus]
oh, when the sun goes down
the streets get a little too loud
but i hate the silence, too quiet too violent
so maybe i’ll just try to scream
so many bottles and cans
can’t count all of them on two hands
just one more manhattan to stop me from crashing
gotta k!ll my brain just to survive

[outro]
walking the streets with a brand new perspective
although i can’t really see straight
if i could make sense of c trains and called names
i could be in a better place
floor 22 with great hudson views
but i can’t stop wondering why
my two+person bed’s left with one lonely head
but at least i’m still too drunk to cry
