lyrics

VERSE
How drunk would you have to be to love me?
It feels like we’re floating but we’re really sinking down
How drunk would you have to be to love me?
You’re the finest ship / That ever wrecked
So I’ll hold your hair back while you wretch
And how drunk would you have to be to love me

BRIDGE
If I’m the anchor that you need
Tell me why I feel adrift
And if you’re so damn empowered,
Why do you flirt to get free drinks?
Some times I wonder if you know your starboard from your wrong
On the day we finally capsize I wonder why it took so long
And just like flotsam and jetsam, flotsam and jetsam
I’ll be lost at sea
And how drunk would you have to be…?

VERSE
How drunk would you have to be to love me?
It feels like we’re floating but we’re really sinking down
How drunk would you have to be to love me?
You’re the finest ship / That ever wrecked
So I’ll hold your hair back while you wretch
And how drunk would you have to be to love me
And how drunk would you have to be to love me
And how drunk would you have to be to love me
