when you’re drunk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
2 AM, I'm wide awake
Ceiling fan, Coldplay
Haven't heard from you all day
TV-light, the sound is off
I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
But all you do is put me on pause
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know if I'm bein' honest
Then maybe we should call it
[Chorus]
Is it love, if you only ever want me when you're drunk?
If the only time you ever think of us
When you're out and had a little bit too much
Is it love?
Is it true if you say it in the middle of the night?
Or you're caught up in your feelings on a flight
If you only ever want me when you're drunk
Is it love? Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you
2 AM, I'm wide awake
Ceiling fan, Coldplay
Haven't heard from you all day
TV-light, the sound is off
I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
But all you do is put me on pause
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know if I'm bein' honest
Then maybe we should call it
[Chorus]
Is it love, if you only ever want me when you're drunk?
If the only time you ever think of us
When you're out and had a little bit too much
Is it love?
Is it true if you say it in the middle of the night?
Or you're caught up in your feelings on a flight
If you only ever want me when you're drunk
Is it love? Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you
[Verse 2]
Now it's been a couple days
When I start to feel okay
Phone lights up, I see your name
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know that I shouldn't pick up
But I don't wanna give up
[Chorus]
Is it love (Is it love), if you only ever want me when you're drunk? (You're drunk)
If the only time you ever think of us (Think of us)
When you're out and had a little bit too much (Bit too much)
Is it love?
Is it true (Is it true), if you say it in the middle of the night? (Of the night)
Or you're caught up in your feelings on a flight (On a flight)
If you only ever want me when you're drunk (When you're drunk)
Is it love? Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you
[Chorus]
Is it love, if you only ever want me when you're drunk?
If the only time you ever think of us
When you're out and had a little bit too much
Is it love?
Is it true (Is it true), if you say it in the middle of the night? (Of the night)
Or you're caught up in your feelings on a flight (On a flight)
If you only ever want me when you're drunk (When you're drunk)
Is it love? Oh, oh
Now it's been a couple days
When I start to feel okay
Phone lights up, I see your name
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know that I shouldn't pick up
But I don't wanna give up
[Chorus]
Is it love (Is it love), if you only ever want me when you're drunk? (You're drunk)
If the only time you ever think of us (Think of us)
When you're out and had a little bit too much (Bit too much)
Is it love?
Is it true (Is it true), if you say it in the middle of the night? (Of the night)
Or you're caught up in your feelings on a flight (On a flight)
If you only ever want me when you're drunk (When you're drunk)
Is it love? Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you
[Chorus]
Is it love, if you only ever want me when you're drunk?
If the only time you ever think of us
When you're out and had a little bit too much
Is it love?
Is it true (Is it true), if you say it in the middle of the night? (Of the night)
Or you're caught up in your feelings on a flight (On a flight)
If you only ever want me when you're drunk (When you're drunk)
Is it love? Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you
You don't want me like I want you

Genius Answer
the guitar line feels so 90’s MTV TRL to me. we’ve fallen for that person who’s talking to 20 people at the same time and hits you up when they’re drinking. the call and response in the choruses 2 and 3 was an idea that just popped into my head last minute when i was recording the final vocal for the song. the outro “oohs” was also a happy accident. i was just riffing new melody ideas and they wound up fitting perfectly here.
