An intoxicated insomniac is who I am tonight,

So I will dive into waters in which I cannot swim.

I will try my luck, God knows I need it,

Because I am me and you are you, and that makes all the difference.



Here I am, behind in life, trying to get my **** together.

There you are, as beautiful as can be, with everything going for you.

Some laugh at the lonely losers, but tonight I am one.

Tunneling my vision towards a woman who can snap her fingers and have what she wants.



My drunken courage will not stop me from making a mistake.

I will undoubtedly humiliate myself tonight, just to tell you how I feel.

It has been years since I have looked at someone the way I look at you,

And I cannot quite tell what it is, but something makes you stand out.



Yes, obviously you are gorgeous, but it is more than just that.

Me thinking you are beautiful makes me no different than anyone else with a functioning pair of eyes.

I sure would like to find out what it is,

So I will make sure that I do not miss out on the chance of knowing you.



Maybe you and I can spend some time together.

Whether it be this week or next month or in twelve years.

To ask is all I came here to do,

Now my phone battery is dying.



I will talk to you in the morning and use my intoxication as an excuse for my honesty.

I will apologize for the sober words I do not have the courage to say.

And because I am me and you are you,

An intoxicated insomniac is all I will pretend to be tonight.
