[Verse 1]
Lunchbox on the counter
Ring marks on the sink
I kissed your sleepy forehead
Then stood there not to drink
The truck sits in the driveway
The day won't let me go
I wear this good man's face
But I know what I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I count my steps to nowhere
I lock the cabinet tight
I say "just get through dinner"
Then lose that fight tonight
[Chorus]
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
I'm still out of the bottle
But it calls my name at night
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
I keep my hands on heaven
While my feet go looking down
[Verse 2]
Your dress is on the chairback
The kids leave crumbs for me
I nod and say I'm fine, babe
Like fine's what I can be
At work I hold my temper
At home I hold my breath
I smile like I'm a winner
While I bargain with death
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear that glass door singing
From the hall behind my eyes
I tell myself "not tonight now"
Then watch it light the sky
[Chorus]
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
I'm still out of the bottle
But it calls my name at night
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
I keep my hands on heaven
While my feet go looking down
[Bridge]
If I fall, who catches dinner
Who tucks them in and stays?
If I break, who forgives me
When I can't say the words I hate?
I hate this face in the mirror
I hate these borrowed lies
I want to be your shelter
Not the storm that empties eyes
[Final Chorus]
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
I'm still out of the bottle
But it calls my name at night
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
I keep my hands on heaven
While my feet go looking down
I'm still out of the bottle
(I'm still out of the bottle)
Just one more day, I'm trying
Just one more day somehow
