[Verse 1]
I empty the fridge
You empty the bottle
We're stacking up a mountain of hard pills we'll have to swallow
It's strange how we point our flaws at one another
We both got different vices and they lead us to each other
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you over drink, and I overeat
We're under thinking everything
And every night, we swear it's gonna change
But in a perfect world
[Chorus]
You get sober
I get skinny, we live off of more than pennies
Writing checks that we can cash, keeping all our promises
We got faith, we got each other
We grow up and we get better
Things need fixing, we got plenty
When you get sober, I'll get skinny, mmm
When you get sober, I'll get skinny
[Verse 2]
You want me to shrink, but I think we should talk to one
Find a comfy couch and let out all the hurt we've kept inside
Since we were young and so numb
Now we find ways to cover up
If we keep going how we're going, what will we become?
'Cause in a perfect world
[Chorus]
You get sober
I get skinny, we live off of more than pennies
Writing checks that we can cash, keeping all our promises
We got faith, we got each other
We grow up and we get better
Things need fixing, we got plenty
When you get sober, I'll get skinny, oh, oh yeah
[Bridge]
It s easy to imagine, Imagine
All our problems disappear like magic, magic
But in an honest world, you're not sober
I'm not skinny, we re scraping by on borrowed pennies
Writing checks they'll never cash, breaking all our promises
[Chorus 2]
But we got faith We got each other
Maybe we ll grow old together Making up our happy ending
When you get sober, I'll get skinny (Oh, oh)
When you get sober, I'll get skinny (oh)
When you get sober, I'll get skinny (Oh, oh)
When you get sober, I'll get skinny
[Outro]
It s easy to imagine
It s easy to imagine
