Under the Influence

Yeah, sometimes the only way to deal with something is to not deal with it at all, Under the influence Every time I turn around I discover some new way she's using me She wants affection in public places, not private spaces- She's losing me, yeah I pretend I understand what she wants and she needs while she's squeezing the life out of me But instead of arguing I run far away, try to get as high as I can And while I'm flying I say, I'm just living here, under the influence And I think I'll be alright but I'm living here, under the influence She often cries in the nights while I'm sleep and she's lost or she's caught in her own self-pity She wants to blame me for the pain that she feels like when the rain makes her realize there's no hiding place there's no shelter, no escape, no umbrellas, or so to speak I wish she'd see that what we are she created and that sobriety, baby, is so overrated I'm living here, under the influence. I think I'll be alright if I'm living here under the influence It's the only way, under the influence. Only way for me and you Under the influence That's why I'm under the influence. Under the influence That's right, I'm under the influence. Under the influence No, I'm under the influence. Under the influence Under the influence Well, I think we can make it.
