Drunk Text Messages
There's no such thing as a drunk text message
alcohol just gives me the confidence to say stuff I didn't have the courage to say sober
I've always wanted to say I want to be with you and to invite you over
But I needed alcohol inside of me for me to send it
I'm sorry for the spelling mistakes, I'm struggling to see straight
My vision is blurred
I'm mumbling in person to friends, so everyone is missing my words
But texting you how I feel will be great
What could go wrong? I'm sure you want to hear it
I'm so confident right now, that I don't fear it
I'm thinking it through, because this is something I need to be clear with
If any damage is done from this text, then tomorrow sober me will apologise to repair it
I've liked you for a while, but I haven't known how to express it
I'm sure you'll be happy for a few shots of Vodka to send you this message
In fact I'm sure of it, let me take one more shot before I press send
Then tomorrow, I'll wake up to see you've screenshot it to show all of your friends
Waking up with regrets, why didn't anyone take my phone off me or shoulder me
I'll apologise for the nonsense I said when it wasn't a sober me
Missed calls from you, and now I'm anxious to give you a call back
Because the alcohol gave me the courage to tell you all that
