The Alcohol Talking

Matthew Sweet

Do you realize you're laughing while you're reaching for the gin

Even though I threaten that I'm never coming back again

The sweetest song you sing will never calm my fear

'Cause once the alcohol is talking, you're not even here



Look into my eyes and tell me I have been the only one

And that you put a limit on the things that you might do for fun

I tell myself there's nothing I should really fear

It's just the alcohol that's talking, you're not even here

That's right



Yes I figured out, hey you, that time is never gonna change

You say you get your life in order but you only rearrange

To say I'm disappointed, it isn't really fair

It's just the alcohol that's talking, I don't even care

It's just the alcohol that's talking, you're not even here

That's right

That's all
