[Verse]
Holding fast until the rent checks wear thin
Because it hasn't sunk in, so far
Well, it's a drab routine, the dust starts building
Until it's hard to come clean
[Verse]
Then the months stack up to an addict crutch
As if the drink weren't enough
A stagger cannot compete
There's no charm in being residential state street
[Chorus]
And if I was sober
Could I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
[Verse]
I wish you could know better than you show
With parted lips pointed down
That the whiskey soothes
More than you could ever do
[Chorus]
And if I was sober
Could I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
[Bridge]
What a difference it made
What a difference it made
[Chorus]
And if I was sober
Could I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
[Outro]
What a difference it made
What a difference it made
