Samantha McKaige - Trying To Get Home (when you're under the influence)

I thought about you in the midst of the whirlpool
You're good at keeping your cool
You know that I'm not
Tonight I washed whiskey down with a shiver
Your hands as the usual chaser
Were absent and locked in a box

I'm twirling myself around and around out in the open
It don't feel the same when we're not running free dancing over the ocean
And I know there's no beauty in trying to get home when you're under the influence
But there's beauty in the way that you talk about it

I thought about you even after you left me
My heart filling heavy
With dust that your tracks left behind
Tonight I washed whiskey down with some lemon
It stung and it ached like your venom
But the taste burned your lips off of mine

I'm driving myself around and around right where you left me
It feels like the day that I tried to leave town but you wouldn't let me
And I know there's no beauty in driving home drunk when you're under the influence
But there's beauty in the way that we'd fight about it
