They got the patience of a million saints

Drunk girls are like a night of simplicity
Drunk girls
They need a lover who is smarter than me

Drunk girls can be just as insane

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
So oh oh
That means making eyes across the room

Drunk girls
Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless
Drunk girls
Just 'cause I'm heartless doesn't mean that I'm mean
Drunk boys
Sometimes love gives us too many options
Drunk girls
Just 'cause you're hungry doesn't mean that you're lean

Drunk girls
I've heard lies that could curdle your heartstrings
Drunk girls
A couple truths, maybe burn out your eyes
Drunk boys
Drunk boys leave their irons in the fireplace
Drunk girls
'Cause drunk girls give them too many tries

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
Oh oh oh
I believe I'm waking up, but no promises
Oh oh oh
I believe in waiting out the weather
Oh oh oh
I believe in making up

The day becomes the night
The day becomes the night
The day becomes the night
The day becomes the night

Honestly, honestly, honestly
Unless it hurts, why do it?

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh
