Figures (Drink Every Night)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I figured you'd leave me And it figures that I'm right Know it's "mercy", baby It's just so much worse at night And on weekends, and at parties Where I have to be polite And especially in winter Figures, now it's winter all the time Well, you wanted something honest But I never really know What to lead with, so I leave and Make an angel in the snow And I pray you'll lay beside me Like you would a year ago Oh, you wanted something honеst Well, I'll say it really simple or rеally slow [Chorus] I still love you, I still drink every night I'm still sending out a flare with every song that I write I still swear that I see you in the mid-morning light But I don't, and it's fine I get up early just to work it around I read poems never knowing what they're even about I remember what you told me, half asleep on my couch You said "Baby, I love you, but you're bringing me down" [Verse 2] Well, I said "I love America" And you thought I meant the band Oh, I gave you so much, baby That you'd never understand Figures you'd get what you wanted Figures I'd get left behind I've been one poor correspondent I've been too, too, too, too, too, too hard to find Hard to find [Chorus] But I still love you, I still drink every night I'm still sending out a flare with every song that I write I still swear that I see you in the mid-morning light But I don't, I just don't I get up early just to work it around I read poems never knowing what they're even about I remember what you told me, half asleep on my couch You said "Baby, I love you, but you bring me down" I get up early just to talk myself down I'm still terrified whenever I can feel you in town And I love you and I know it's immaterial now But I figure I'll get it the second time around
