[Intro - main clean guitar riff twice, cheap dry drums enter] [Verse 1 - soft, loose male vocal] I slept until the afternoon Left my clothes across the room There's a picture by the bed I turned it over instead I heard your car outside again Counted slowly up to ten Thought you'd knock like you did then You didn't [Instrumental - guitar riff repeats] [Verse 2 - same melody, slightly more movement] Everybody's going out I don't know what that's about I could meet them down the street I could stay here watching TV There's a bottle in the fridge There's your number in my head One of them will help me sleep I forget which [Chorus - simple sing-song melody, guitar stays repetitive] Don't make me be sober Don't make me be sober Stay until the night is over Stay until we're getting older Don't make me be sober Don't leave me alone I like who I am When I don't know [Post-Chorus - wordless vocal, guitar riff] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Verse 3 - intimate, slightly cracked vocal] We were seventeen somewhere Cheap perfume and stupid hair You were laughing in the hall Like we'd never change at all Now your voice sounds different too Mine probably does to you Funny growing up can feel Like losing someone You still know [Chorus - slightly fuller, still deliberately small] Don't make me be sober Don't make me be sober Stay until the night is over Stay until we're getting older Don't make me be sober Don't leave me alone I like who I am When I don't know [Instrumental - main riff, tape warble] [Final Chorus - vocal rougher, simple doubled melody] Don't make me be sober Don't make me be sober Come a little closer Come a little closer Don't make me be sober Don't leave me alone I don't like the quiet When everybody goes [Outro - drums stop, guitar keeps looping] Stay until it's over Stay until it's over Don't make me be sober Not yet.
