Sober Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh

[Verse 1]
I’ve been spending most my life
In a haze
I go to bed drunk every night
To kill the pain, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all I ever remember is how I feel regret each morning after
And it drives me to drink again
I can’t face the person in the mirror
What a vicious cycle I get myself into
But you, oh you

[Chorus]
You make me wanna be sober (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
With you I wanna feel everything (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just turn this wine into water (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
‘Cause I don’wanna miss anything, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was blacking out to block out everyone before you
But you make me wanna be sober (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sober (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
So I can live in your presence
And put down the glass
Touch you with all of my senses
And I’m sensing it’s gonna last, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Everything that you do makes me wanna listen better, see you clearer
And the way that you love me makes me love the person in the mirror
What a sweet salvation I just fell into
With you, oh you

[Chorus]
You make me wanna be sober (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
With you I wanna feel everything (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just turn this wine into water (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss anything, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was blacking out to block out everyone before you
But you make me wanna be sober (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
Oh, what a sweet salvation I just fell into
With you, oh you

[Chorus]
You make me wanna be sober (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
With you I wanna feel everything (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just turn this wine into water (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss anything (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
Oh, I just wasted every night that I’ve been wasted with you
Yeah, you make me wanna be… sober

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
