I Drink Wine Lyrics

How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes? How come we both become a version of a person we don't even like? We're in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down By puttin' ideals in our heads to corrupt our hearts somehow When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind Soaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying) To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing) But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser So I hope I learn to get over myself Stop trying to be somebody else So we can love each other for free Everybody wants something, you just want me Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control? Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know? In these crazy times I hope to find something I can cling onto 'Cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true You better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried) High tides (High tides, high tides) Want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire Oh-oh, oh-oh I hope I learn to get over myself Stop trying to be somebody else Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free 'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get You get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left I hope in time (Hope in time) we both will find (We'll both find) peace of mind Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind So I hope I learn to get over myself Stop trying to be somebody else Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah 'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying) To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing) But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
