Self-loathing is quaint   You told me, showing restraint   Now you're gone, and I'm lost   In the swells, I am tossed   Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog      You said forever   Tell me why can't you stay?      CHORUS   I'd ride in your pocket all day   But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change   I'm throwing a party tonight   I drink more than a sailor I'm sure   Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies      Oh...      Drunk since Saturday   Without you, without restraint   (Ahhh)   It still stings where you stung   Water swings in my lungs   I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away      Tell me forever   Tell me you'll come back to stay      CHORUS      I'd ride in your pocket all day   But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change   I'm throwing a party tonight   I drink more than a sailor I'm sure   Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies      You were the mermaid for me   Till one day, you found your feet   Leaving me   In the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief      CHORUS      I'd ride in your pocket all day   But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change   I'm throwing a party tonight   I drink more than a sailor I'm sure   Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
