Last night when the liquor was flowing
You looked at me again
You said I'm not sure where I'm going
But I am so far from where I began
There are days I can't remember
There are years I'd soon forget
Like when you held me last December
And told me all the traps that you'd set
In the sober light of day
There is nothing more to say
There is no reason to wait
To see the sober light of day
Yeah we all have our poisons
Some in a bottle or a glass
Some on the top shelf of the medicine cabinet
Way in the back where no one will ask
Sometimes I wear my sunglasses
To hide the circles around my eyes
Sometimes I stand on this stage
'Cause sometimes it's the only place to hide
From the sober light of day
Where it's not so easy to relate
There is no reason to wait
To see the sober light of day
I have spent my share of days
I was drunk from the pain
The grey sky it was heavy
And there's seemed no end to the refrain
Yeah but I survived it darling
And I know that you will too
Just listen to me calling out to you
Let this song guide you through
To the sober light of day
Where you will see things another way
And if for just a day
You'll live in the sober light of day
The sober light of day
