Song Lyrics

Bottle of wine and a bag of cocaine
You're on my mind as I drive home in the rain
I'm reminded again of some familiar yesterday

Cheers to old times, raise a glass to the pain
I hope that you'll alright but it seems not much is changed
You are buying a round for everybody at the bar
You are painting the town with your daddy's credit card
All these things you must do to keep from going insane

Up and then down, a chill, nothing remains
Sand through an hourglass on its last grains
Only now that it's over I know who to blame
A bottle of wine and a bag cocaine

In this lonely apartment in a cloud of regret
I go through the same old argument to reminisce or to forget
I find acceptance so fleeting unless it's coursing through my veins

If my heart is still beating, if in my sleep I've not chocked
Come over tonight and won't you bring along some smokes?
We can put on a record and I can fill your head with lies
We get so sentimental but it's only lust in disguise
It's so hard to extinguish such an old familiar flame

We go up and then down until nothing remains
Sand through an hourglass on its last grains
Only now that it's over I know who to blame
A bottle of wine and a bag of cocaine

A bottle of wine and a bag of cocaine
