Intro: I wanna be drunk when I wake up On the right side of the wrong bed And every excuse I made up Tell you the truth I hate What didn’t kill me It never made me stronger at all. Love will scar your make-up lip sticks to me So now I’ll maybe leave back there I’m sat here wishing I was sober I know I’ll never hold you like I used to. But our house gets cold when you cut the heating Without you to hold I’ll be freezing Can’t rely on my heart to beat it ’Cause you take part of it every evening Take words out of my mouth just from breathing Replace with phrases like when you’re leaving me. Should I should I? Maybe I’ll get drunk again I’ll be drunk again I’ll be drunk again To feel a little love I wanna hold your heart in both hands I’ll watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can And I’ve got no plans for the weekend So shall we speak then Keep it between friends Though I know you’ll never love me like you used to. There maybe other people like us You see the flicker of the clip when they light up Flames just create us burns don’t heal like before You don’t hold me anymore. On cold days Coldplay’s out like the band’s the name I know I can’t heal things with a hand shake You know I can’t change as I began saying You cut me wide open like landscape Open bottles of beer but never champagne We’ll applaud you with the sound that my hands make. Should I should I? Maybe I’ll get drunk again I’ll be drunk again I’ll be drunk again To feel a little love. All by myself I’m here again All by myself You know I’ll never change All by myself All by myself I’m just drunk again I’ll be drunk again I’ll be drunk again To feel a little love

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des sentiments de nostalgie et de désespoir après une rupture. Le narrateur souhaite se réveiller en étant ivre, cherchant à échapper à la réalité et à la douleur d'un amour perdu. Il ressent un vide immense et une incapacité à retrouver la chaleur d'une ancienne relation. Le besoin de ressentir un peu d'amour le pousse à envisager de se saouler à nouveau, comme si cela pouvait atténuer sa souffrance. La solitude et les souvenirs blessants l'accompagnent, tandis qu'il réalise que rien ne pourra remplacer les moments passés avec l'autre.
