If You Stay Sober - Shearwater

If you stay sober

I’ll put the kettle on

And you can come over

Drink tea, and watch the lawn

And I’ll lay you down

I’ll lay you down

As the lights come on in town

When day is over

I wanted to die

For two days in '95

I stood by the lakeside

And waited for the mood to be right

With leaves all turning brown

I listened to the sounds

Starting to announce October

I’ll lay you down

You can empty out your mouth

And I’ll arrange the room again

When everything is over
