[Verse 1]

I thought that I was doing fine

My head above the waterline

And we shared a taxi home that night, remember

How you ran your fingers through my hair

I fell too far right then and there

I should have been more honest with you then

But


[Refrain]

I was just so fucking thankful

For the simple fact to have you coming back to back to me when others wait in line

And I was just so happy

So damn satisfied to be

The arms you turn to when you need a place to hide


[Chorus]

But you never kiss me when you're sober

You never let me come closer

When all I want is just to hold ya

You never kiss me when you're sober

You never kiss me when you're sober

You never kiss me when you're sober


[Verse 2]

Oh what am I to do with this

Night's filling up with emptiness

The silence at the break of every dawn

And I'm fumbling through all my dreams

I'm changing them to fit my needs

Keep looking for the face closest to yours


[Refrain]

And I know I should be thankful

For the simple fact that I know I have you coming back to me when others wait in line

And I know I should be happy

So damn satisfied to be

The arms you turn to when you need a place to hide


[Chorus]

But you never kiss me when you're sober

You never let me come closer

When all I want is just to hold ya

You never kiss me when you're sober

You never kiss me when you're sober

You never kiss me when you're sober

I know you want me when it's over

But you never kiss me when you're sober
