I wrote drunk dreams after moving to Melbourne I’d just ended my job, relationship and threw myself into a totally new place and I’d come back from a night out with people who I felt really out of place with, like I couldn’t be myself – it made me miss my friends back home and this particular song was about an ex, wanting to run back to what’s comfortable and familiar when you’re somewhere you feel totally out of place in. It’s kind of a flashback/highlight reel of all the good stuff that was perhaps a little taken for granted.
lyrics
I miss you lately
It’s late and I’m lonely
I miss your embrace
I miss your tattoo’s too
I miss staying up late
Talking about whatever –
We wanted to
I remember talking on the telephone
You thought you were gonna go to jail
For something that you did; under the influence
A while back
I remember you saying you might have to do some time
I remember me laughing saying that it was gonna work out fine
I woke up –
Saying your name
I been having dreams.
I shouldn’t look back – at photographs
But I do, and I probably will again
I miss your tattoos
And staying up late
Talking bout whatever
We wanted to
I remember smoking cigarettes outside on the stairs
And you showed me how to hold it I was drunk and I didn’t care
I remember the sky spinning when we laid down on the beach
Cos I drank too much I was nervous and your ex girlfriend was there
I remember thinking you were nervous and that’s why you didn’t say much
But you were just drunk
I remember our feet, hanging off the ledge
When I said you couldn’t swim in it
That they’d eat you alive
When I showed you my favorite spot – up on the hill on the bridge
The first time you visited
And you and my dad got high
I don’t know why everything gets so difficult sometimes
I don’t know why I ruin every good thing that I find
