Christ I'm sweaty My head hurts **** I'm gonna throw up again We drank way too much last night, as we have the last four I remember you dancing on the table, a beer bottle held loosley in your hand, your hair flowing around your head and neck almost in slow motion You had no rhythm even when you were sober I was clumsy and loud and very drunk but I remember you beaming at me when I swept you off the table and took you to your room at the end of the hall In there our sweatiness the smell of liquor on our breath our labored breathing It all disappeared It was just us, a bottle of Captain, and the infinite night I woke up with a pounding headache and the taste of bile in my mouth You were holding the empty bottle, snoring with your mouth open, your hair a disaster I've never seen anything as beautiful You get up and stumble to the bathroom and I hear you start to ***** so I go and hold your hair back and stroke your neck and tell you it's ok it's ok don't apologize it's ok You're embarrassed of your messy hair and you're apologizing for puking and your makeup is running down your face and you're pale and sweaty and I'm so in love with you it's incredible I clean you up and bring you back to bed and within minutes you're snoring again You're a mess But you're a ******* beautiful mess A mess I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Our livers are ****** But our hearts are unbreakable

Alcohol Poisoning
Christ I'm sweaty My head hurts **** I'm gonna throw up again We drank way too much last night, as we have the last four I remember you dancing on the table, a beer bottle held loosley in your hand, your hair flowing around your head and neck almost in slow motion You had no rhythm even when you were sober I was clumsy and loud and very drunk but I remember you beaming at me when I swept you off the table and took you to your room at the end of the hall In there our sweatiness the smell of liquor on our breath our labored breathing It all disappeared It was just us, a bottle of Captain, and the infinite night I woke up with a pounding headache and the taste of bile in my mouth You were holding the empty bottle, snoring with your mouth open, your hair a disaster I've never seen anything as beautiful You get up and stumble to the bathroom and I hear you start to ***** so I go and hold your hair back and stroke your neck and tell you it's ok it's ok don't apologize it's ok You're embarrassed of your messy hair and you're apologizing for puking and your makeup is running down your face and you're pale and sweaty and I'm so in love with you it's incredible I clean you up and bring you back to bed and within minutes you're snoring again You're a mess But you're a ******* beautiful mess A mess I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Our livers are ****** But our hearts are unbreakable
