Out of breath Out of the will to hold myself back We all run to the car through the rain A group of maybe five or six All just background We were the main characters that night The lights from the streetlights Casting shadows of raindrops on your face Your hair slicked back Soaked to the bone The next day we both apologized Although a distinct absence of regret Because drunk words and actions Are sober thoughts

Sober Thoughts
Out of breath Out of the will to hold myself back We all run to the car through the rain A group of maybe five or six All just background We were the main characters that night The lights from the streetlights Casting shadows of raindrops on your face Your hair slicked back Soaked to the bone The next day we both apologized Although a distinct absence of regret Because drunk words and actions Are sober thoughts
