You don’t have to shake me, I’m awake, I’m sorry about the mess
Sometimes the pavement feels like home, I guess - we all did our best
I got an extra room, you can stay if you don’t wanna drive
I understand, you can take the rest for the ride

Not too wasted - I can lock the door
I can taste it coming back for more
Not too wasted - I think I found the light

The phone was ringing all night long, they’ll say “he had so many friends”
But you can read the messages yourself, they’re not just checking in
Cuz I got the money, I got the lines, I got the hookup, call anytime
Just take a number, take all you can, I’m taking more than I can stand tonight

Not too wasted - texted mom goodnight
I can’t place it, but something ain’t right

Did something stupid - my need for human contact
Everyone used it, yes even you, Mom and Dad
I’m feeling stellar, like I’m adrift in the black
There ain’t no letter - you know me better than that

Father forgive them, oh they know just what they did
But it’s a cold hard world, and it hurts sometimes
And they were only kids
Mother, please forgive me, and yourself
Oh, I swear if there’s a hell, I’ve left it far behind me now
Save your tears for those that stuck around

Not too wasted - what I came to learn
What this place is - I took my turn

Did something stupid - my need for human contact
Everyone used it until there’s no going back
I’m feeling stellar, like I’m adrift in the black
There ain’t no letter - you know me better than that
