**[Chorus]**

I got one shot down, two friends kissing

Three minutes till twelve, it's you I'm missing

There’s four in the bath, five in the kitchen

Tryna get you off of my mind

**[Verse 1]**

Yeah I been low these days, yeah baby I been better

Yeah I’ve been crying all these tears, just like the weather

I need some liquor in my veins before I sever

I need to feel alive (Yeah)

I been lonely, need somebody under my skin

I need the music shaking walls until they cave i-in

Giving into all my pleasures doing all sins

I’m with the devil with tonight

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I’m hurt, I’m numb

Fuck you, you’re dumb

I need some fun, yeah tonight

**[Chorus]**

I got one shot down, two friends kissing

Three minutes till twelve, it's you I'm missing

There’s four in the bath, five in the kitchen

Tryna get you off of my mind

Car is six away, I'm late but living

Yeah, we puff puff pass, seven minutes in heaven

Been going since eight, never stopping

It’s a pregame going tonight

**[Post-Chorus]**

And we going for life

Going for life

Gotchu off of my mind

It's a pregame going tonight

**[Verse 2]**

Come on over baby, help me rinse my mouth out

We swimming in a pool and didn’t take our clothes off

I’m hurt, I’m numb

Fuck you, you’re dumb

I need some fun, yeah tonight

**[Chorus]**

I got one shot down, two friends kissing

(One, two, three, four)

I can't seem to get my shit together, I been lonelier than ever

Oh, I, goddamn, I'm so drinking to forget it but tonight I don't regret it

Oh, I, I'm going full throttle, just like I'm a racer

Might down a whole bottle, don't need no chaser

If I keep going, than I might erase her (erase her)
