When I Drink Lyrics - The Gleam - Avett Brothers

When I drink 

I say things I don't want to say 

I do things I don't wanna do 

I talk mean to you 

But if I think 

I just might get something out of this 

My parents taught me to learn when I miss 

Just do your best 

Just do your best 

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity 

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be 

At least a little better than I've been so far

But when I drink 

I hear things that aren't really there 

I feel things when I shouldn't really care 

Have fist fights with the air 

But if I think about someone besides myself 

I lived through the silver and the bell 

With something to tell 

Just do your best 

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity 

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be 

At least a little better than I've been so far 

But when I drink 

I spend the next morning in a haze 

But we only get so many days 

Now I have one less 

Just do your best

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity 

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be 

At least a little better than I've been so far 

Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far
