Adele - I Drink Wine lyrics

How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?

How come we’ve 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 putting ideas in our heads that 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 

Yet I don’t know anybody who’s truly satisfied

 

You better believe I’m trying to keep 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 on to 

Cause I need some substance in my life

Something real, something that feels true

 

You better believe for you I’ve cried high tides

Cause I want you so bad but you can’t fight fire with fire 

 

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

Oh I hope in time we both will find peace of mind

Sometimes the road less travelled is a road best left behind
