Cabernet Serenade

You're just so sweet to me once you've gone and gotten drunk

Spillin' that red on your blanket, spillin' white lies on the walls

But you're whisperin' to me that you're never in a rush

You like my Russian eyes, baby?

Well, they're lookin' like a crutch to you

Your good ol' Cabernet serenade leads the way

I bite the bait and hook my jaw

And when you wake, you pull away, forget I'm hooked

Drag me 'til the daylight comes

Night'll come, and ethanol will fill your veins again

And then, you'll choose to call

And problem-solve a way to rob my heart

Why don't you come around?

I'm all dressed up in shame, why can't you look at me for once?

I ain't no role model, baby, I wouldn't want you lookin' up

Just the thought of you by my side

And in my life, it sounded nice, it lit me up

I prophesied a better time and bet the blind, but I was never quite enough

Guess it was that Cabernet callin' me yesterday

The day before and all last week

Floodin' every wound you see, rippin' stitches out, and slowly pullin' teeth

Night'll come, and ethanol will fill your veins again

And then, you'll choose to call

And problem-solve a way to rob my heart
