Trees Above Mandalay – Single Serving Friends lyrics

M wathing the clock and counting the minutes using my wits
Impressing the critics you know that crashing through the window
Is not the best way to introduce yourself to people you
Haven't met yet you don't know the half of it...
Who will teach you a little bit of modesty when your passed out
At your front door you can't remember the night before
I bet you got what you wanted out of everyone
I haven't seen you sober in so long I haven't seen you without a drink
At all it's kind of sad that there's just no conversation...
Your not the center of attention or an object of affection you've got a lot to learn
Like when to admit that your wrong that not all your ideas are as sharp
As your tounge what do you have to say now? That the bottle made you go
And run at the mouth to friends that don't even know what your
Talking about I don't beleive this who are you I don't feel like
I know you anymore youve got a lot to say if the words would escape
Your drunken mouth I'm sure we think the same you just say it
Louder and better yet I can't even get a word in dick...
Just drink no worries about who you are offending just your run of the mill everyday lush.
Your just your run of the mill everyday lush and I've been waiting for you
To find out that you have the choice to keep a friend close or drink up
Til you wake up alone I'll help you find a way to remember when you
Didn't need the help of a drink to speak loud and tell the room
What you think your not the same and I'm just the one that called you out
That's right I said it and I completely mean it this isn't healthy and not so close
To flattering it's time we sat down and gave some intervention
I think it's time to say we've got a growing problem that
We can work out today I'll help you find a habit not quite as costly
And twice as much fun and a little bit more respectable.
It's just that I don't think you notice that the liquors not taking you farther
Than a massive headache sensitive to bright lights and sound
I just can't be there when you've been drinking heavily falling over me
You drunk is too much to stomach.
