I Drink Wine
Adele Song Lyrics

How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?

How come we've both become a version of a person we don't even like?

We're in love with the world, but the world just wants to bring us down

By puttin' ideas in our heads that corrupt our hearts somehow

When I was a child, every single thing could blow my mind

Soaking it all up for fun, but now I only soak up wine

They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice

And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied.

You better believe I'm tryin' (tryin', tryin')

To keep climbin' (climbin', climbin')

But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser.

So I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop tryin' to be somebody else

So we can love each other for free

Everybody wants somethin', you just want me.

Why am I obsessin' about the things I can't control?

Why am I seekin' approval from people I don't even know?

In these crazy times, I hope to find somethin' I can cling on to

'cause I need some substance in my life, somethin' real, somethin' that feels true.

You better believe for you, I've cried (i've cried, I've cried)

High tides (high tides, high tides)

'cause I want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire, oh...

So I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop tryin' to be somebody else

Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free

Everybody wants somethin' from me, you just want me.

Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get

You get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left

Oh, I hope in time (hope in time)

We both will find (we'll both find), peace of mind

Sometimes, the road less traveled is a road best left behind.

Well, I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop tryin' to be somebody else

Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah...

'cause everybody wants somethin' from me, you just want me.

You better believe I'm tryin' (tryin', tryin')

To keep climbin' (climbin', climbin')

But the higher we climb, feels like we're both none the wiser.

The only regret I have

I wish that it was just at a different time

A most turbulent period of my life

Why would I put that on you?

That's just, like, a very heavy thing to have to talk about

But because of that period of time

Even though it was so much fun

I didn't get to go on and make new memories with him

There were just memories in a big storm.
