Wishful Drinking

Separate me from the rest of the herd so

I can run away from all of my hurt, oh

Drink what I want

Be what I want

Say what you want me to say like

I can pretend that I don't wanna end, I'm afraid

(And dangerous)

Weave a story so I don't have to talk, no

It's not a problem if I never get caught, oh

Drink what I want

Be what I want

Say what you want me to say like

I can pretend that I don't wanna end, I'm afraid

(And dangerous)

Oh, wishful drinkin'

Tell myself that I'm not thinkin' 'bout

How I could drown, drown, drown, drown

Wishful drinkin', oh

(Hey)

Wishful drinkin'

Go ahead and stop your thinkin' now

And throw it down, down, down, down

Wishful drinkin', oh

Hatch demons where no one can see oh

Out of sight but in your mind you believe 'em

Drink what you want

Be what you want

Say what they want you to say like

I can pretend that I don't wanna end, I'm afraid

Do you think, do you think that they notice?

I keep a bottle by my bed it's a focus

Drink what I want

Be what I want

Say what you want me to say like

I can pretend that I don't wanna end, I'm afraid

(And dangerous)

Oh, wishful drinkin'

Tell myself that I'm not thinkin' 'bout

How I could drown, drown, drown, drown

Wishful drinkin', oh

Wishful drinkin'

Go ahead and stop your thinkin' now

And throw it down, down, down, down

Wishful drinkin', oh

This is not a problem if I don't want it to stop

Can't call it a problem if I never let a play drop

This is not a problem if convincin' that it's not

Don't call it a problem, it's the only thing that I still got

Hey, oh

Hey, I know

Down, down, down

Wishful drinkin', oh

Oh, wishful drinkin'

Tell myself that I'm not thinkin' 'bout

How I could drown, drown, drown, drown

Wishful drinkin', oh

Wishful drinkin'

Go ahead and stop your thinkin' now

And throw it down, down, down, down

Wishful drinkin', oh
