I Drink Wine - Adele

Lyrics by：Adele Adkins/Greg Kurstin

Composed by：Adele Adkins/Greg Kurstin

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 putting 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 trying

Trying trying

To keep climbing

Climbing climbing

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

Ah ah ah ah

So I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop trying to be somebody else

So we can love each other for free

Everybody wants something you just want me

Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control

Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know

In these crazy times I hope to find something I can cling onto

'Cause I need some substance in my life

Something real something 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

Ah ah ah ah

Oh-oh oh-oh

I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop trying to be somebody else

Oh I just want to love you love you for free

Everybody wants something 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 the road best left behind

Ah ah ah ah

Well so I hope I learn to get over myself

Stop trying to be somebody else

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

'Cause everybody wants something from me you just want me

You better believe I'm trying

Trying trying

To keep climbing

Climbing climbing

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 to make new memories with him

There was just memories in a big storm
